1. What is the EMI Calculation Formula?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates the fixed payment amount a borrower pays each month to repay a loan. It includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard 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, in decimal)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan period, ensuring each payment reduces both principal and interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Understanding your EMI helps in financial planning, comparing loan offers, and ensuring the repayment fits your budget before committing to a loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in ZAR, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan tenure in months. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does interest rate affect EMI?
A: Higher interest rates increase both the EMI amount and total interest paid over the loan term.

Q2: What's better - longer or shorter loan tenure?
A: Shorter tenure means higher EMIs but less total interest. Longer tenure reduces EMI but increases total interest paid.

Q3: Can I prepay my FNB loan?
A: Most FNB loans allow prepayment, which may reduce total interest. Check for any prepayment penalties.

Q4: Are there other loan charges not included here?
A: This calculator shows principal + interest only. There may be additional fees like initiation fees or insurance.

Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides standard EMI calculation. For exact figures, consult FNB as rates/fees may vary by product.
