1. What is the FNB Retirement Annuity Calculator?

The FNB Retirement Annuity Calculator helps estimate your regular retirement annuity payments based on your present investment value, interest rate, and the number of payment periods. It uses the standard annuity formula to calculate fixed periodic payments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the retirement annuity formula:

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

Where:

\( P \) — Periodic payment amount (ZAR)
\( PV \) — Present value of the investment (ZAR)
\( r \) — Interest rate per period (decimal)
\( n \) — Total number of payment periods (months)

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed payment amount needed to fully amortize a loan or annuity over a specified period at a given interest rate.

3. Importance of Retirement Annuity Calculation

Details: Accurate retirement annuity calculation is crucial for financial planning, ensuring you receive sustainable income throughout retirement and properly managing your retirement savings.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter present value in ZAR, interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%), and number of payment periods in months. All values must be valid (PV > 0, rate > 0, periods ≥ 1).
