1. What is Close Brothers Motor Finance?

Close Brothers Motor Finance, offered through Nedbank, provides vehicle financing solutions in South Africa. Their loan products help customers purchase new or used vehicles with flexible repayment terms.

2. How EMI Calculation Works

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment needed to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Understanding Your Loan Terms

Details: Your monthly payment (EMI) depends on three key factors: the loan amount, the interest rate, and the repayment period. Longer terms reduce monthly payments but increase total interest paid.

4. Using This Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in ZAR, annual interest rate (%), and loan term in months (typically 12-84 months for vehicle loans). The calculator will show your estimated monthly payment, total repayment amount, and total interest cost.
