1. What is the Wesbank Motor Finance Calculator?

The Wesbank Motor Finance Calculator helps you estimate your monthly installment (EMI) for vehicle financing in South Africa. It uses the standard EMI formula to calculate your repayment amount based on loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest components of your loan payment, with more interest paid at the beginning of the loan term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating your EMI helps you budget for your vehicle purchase, compare financing options, and understand the total cost of your loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in ZAR, annual interest rate (percentage), and loan term in months (typically 12-84 months for vehicle loans).
