1. What is the Westpac Personal Loan EMI Calculator?

This calculator helps estimate Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) for Westpac personal loans in Australia, with interest rates typically ranging from 6.99% to 13.99% p.a. It calculates your monthly payment, total interest, and total repayment amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (AUD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months (years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment (EMI) in AUD

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan term, spreading repayments equally across all months.

3. Understanding Loan Repayments

Details: Westpac personal loans typically range from 1 to 7 years. Your monthly payment remains fixed, but the interest/principal ratio changes over time (more interest paid early in the loan).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount (minimum AUD 1,000), annual interest rate (6.99-13.99%), and loan term (1-7 years). Results show monthly payment, total interest, and total repayment amount.
