1. What is the Westpac Loan Payment Formula?

The Westpac loan payment formula calculates fixed monthly payments for a home loan. Note: This calculator uses Westpac-style calculations and is not applicable to HDFC Bank loans.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment required each month to pay off the loan over the specified term, including both principal and interest.

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and financial planning when considering a home loan. It allows you to compare different loan options.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in AUD, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why does this calculator mention both Westpac and HDFC?
A: This calculator uses Westpac-style calculations but is presented for general information. It is not specifically designed for HDFC Bank loans.
