1. What is the FNB Credit Card Payment Calculator?

This calculator helps you determine the fixed monthly payment needed to pay off your FNB credit card balance within a specific timeframe, considering your current balance and interest rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( D \) — Monthly payment (ZAR)

• \( N \) — Payoff period in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment needed each month to completely pay off the balance in the specified time, accounting for compound interest.
