The bond repayment factor is an expression of the monthly repayment for a loan amount of R1000 at the specified interest rate and loan term.
For example, if the loan is R100 000,00 at an interest rate of 14% per year over 20 years, the monthly repayment would be:
R100 000,00 divided by 1 000, multiplied by 12.44 (being the bank repayment factor - see table at the bottom) = R1 244,00 per month.
A monthly instalment on a R500 000,00 property will amount to R6 220,00, being 30% on a gross income of R22 000,00.
With these guidelines you will be able to determine -
- Your monthly bond repayment being 30% of your gross income.
- The bond amount you qualify for with your current salary.
