1. What is the EMI Calculation?

The EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) calculation determines your fixed monthly payment for a car loan from WesBank. It includes both principal and interest components, spread evenly over your loan term.

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 / 12, as decimal)
\( N \) — Loan tenure in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan period, calculating a fixed payment that fully amortizes the loan.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Knowing your EMI helps budget for car ownership costs, compare loan offers, and choose an affordable repayment term.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in ZAR, annual interest rate (%), and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.
