1. What is the CommBank Personal Loan Calculator?

The CommBank Personal Loan Calculator estimates monthly repayments for personal loans based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term. This calculator provides an approximation of CommBank-style personal loan repayments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan repayment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (AUD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in months)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (AUD)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest.

3. Importance of Loan Repayment Calculation

Details: Understanding your potential loan repayments helps with budgeting and financial planning. It allows you to compare different loan options and choose terms that fit your financial situation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in AUD, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 7.5 for 7.5%), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
