1. What is the EMI Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates fixed monthly payments for bonds or loans. It's used by FNB, Nedbank, and other financial institutions to determine repayment amounts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

\[ EMI = \frac{P \times R \times (1+R)^N}{(1+R)^N - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (ZAR)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of the loan payment, with more interest paid initially.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations and plan their finances accordingly when taking a bond from FNB or Nedbank.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in ZAR, annual interest rate (without % sign), and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.

Q4: Can I prepay my bond?
