How Standard Bank repayments are estimated

This tool applies the standard amortisation formula used across South African banks: your loan amount and interest rate are spread evenly over the term to give a level monthly repayment. Home and personal loan rates are linked to the prime lending rate, so we default to indicative 2026 figures you can adjust to match a quote.

Prime-linked rates

Home and personal loan rates track prime (11.75% in 2026). Your offer may sit above or below prime depending on your profile.

What affects your offer

Credit score, income and affordability, existing debt, deposit size and loan-to-value all influence the rate and amount you are offered.

Loans vs savings

Loan products use amortisation; savings, fixed deposits and unit trusts use compound growth on your balance and any monthly contributions.

Independent estimate

This is a planning estimate, not a quote. Standard Bank sets your actual rate and instalment when you apply.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

How is a Standard Bank home loan repayment calculated?
A home loan (bond) repayment uses the standard amortisation formula: it spreads the loan amount plus interest evenly over the term. The main inputs are the loan amount, the annual interest rate and the term in years. On a R1,500,000 bond at 11.75% over 20 years, the estimated repayment is roughly R16,300 per month. This is an independent estimate — Standard Bank determines your actual rate and instalment when you apply.
What interest rate will Standard Bank charge me?
South African home and personal loan rates are linked to the prime lending rate (11.75% in 2026), set in relation to the Reserve Bank repo rate. Your offered rate may be at prime, below prime (prime minus a margin) for strong applicants, or above prime, depending on your credit profile, deposit and affordability. Use prime as a starting estimate and adjust once you have a quote.
What affects the offer I get from Standard Bank?
Lenders weigh your credit score, income and affordability, existing debt, the deposit you put down, the loan term and the loan-to-value ratio. A larger deposit and a clean credit record typically earn a lower rate, while a higher risk profile pushes the rate above prime or reduces the amount offered.
Is this an official Standard Bank calculator?
No. This is a free, independent estimate tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Standard Bank. It uses publicly known formulas and indicative 2026 rates for planning only. For a binding quote, apply directly with Standard Bank, who will assess your specific circumstances.
How do I apply for a loan with Standard Bank?
You can apply online through the Standard Bank website or banking app, in a branch, or — for home loans — via a bond originator who shops your application to several banks. Have your ID, recent payslips, three to six months of bank statements and proof of expenses ready so the bank can assess affordability under the National Credit Act.
