1. What is the NAB Credit Limit Equation?

The NAB (National Australia Bank) credit limit equation estimates the maximum credit card limit based on your annual income and the bank's factor. This factor varies based on credit history and other financial factors.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the NAB credit limit equation:

Where:

• \( Income \) — Annual income (AUD/year)
• \( NAB\ Factor \) — Bank's credit factor (dimensionless, typically around 1.5)

Explanation: The equation provides an estimate of your potential credit card limit based on your income and the bank's assessment of your creditworthiness.

3. Importance of Credit Limit Calculation

Details: Understanding your potential credit limit helps in financial planning and ensures you don't apply for cards beyond your eligibility, which could affect your credit score.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual income in AUD and the NAB factor (default is 1.5). All values must be positive numbers.
