1. What is the Boat Motor Finance Calculator?

The Boat Motor Finance Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments (EMI) when financing a boat motor through Wesbank. It calculates your Equated Monthly Installment based on loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan term to determine fixed monthly payments that will pay off the loan in full.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating your EMI helps you budget for boat ownership, compare financing options, and choose a loan term that fits your financial situation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in dollars, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 7.5 for 7.5%), and loan term in months (e.g., 60 for 5 years).
