Calculator FAQ

Questions people usually have before using this calculator

How is a home loan repayment calculated in South Africa?

It is usually calculated using the loan amount, interest rate, and term on an amortising basis, which spreads capital and interest across the repayment period.

Does a home loan calculator include transfer duty and bond costs?

Not this version. It focuses on the repayment itself, so transfer duty, bond registration costs, bank fees, and insurance should still be budgeted separately.
