1. What is the FNB Retirement Annuity Calculator?

The FNB Retirement Annuity Calculator helps South African investors calculate their monthly retirement annuity payments based on present value, interest rate, and term length. It uses the standard annuity formula to determine regular payments for retirement planning.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the retirement annuity formula:

\[ P = \frac{PV \times r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}} \]
