Your own contribution or the amount you will pay upfront. Percentage of down payment: 40.0%. Loan amount: 120,000 €

The duration of the loan in months. 180 months = 15.0 years.

The number of years for which the interest rate remains fixed. After that, the rate may change.

The fixed interest rate that will apply during the first few years (e.g., 3% for the first 10 years).

The estimated variable interest rate that may apply after the fixed period ends. Usually based on the current Euribor (interbank reference rate) plus a fixed margin set by the bank. e.g.: еuribor: 2.085% + margin: 2% = total: 4.085%

Banks and their mortgage loan terms

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a mortgage loan?

A mortgage loan is a type of loan granted by banks to individuals for purchasing, building, or renovating real estate. It is usually granted with a repayment term of 10 to 30 years and can have a fixed or variable interest rate.

How is the monthly payment for a mortgage calculated?

The monthly payment is calculated based on the loan amount (property value minus down payment), the repayment term, and the interest rate. The calculator automatically divides the loan amount by the chosen number of months and applies interest for each period.

What is a down payment (self-financing)?

A down payment is the amount the buyer pays from personal funds before the bank approves the remainder through a loan. Banks usually require a minimum down payment of 10% to 20% of the property's value.

What is a fixed interest rate?

A fixed interest rate is an interest rate that remains unchanged for an agreed period, usually 3, 5, 10, or 15 years. During this period, the monthly payment stays the same regardless of market conditions.

What does variable interest rate mean?

After the fixed period ends, the interest rate may change based on market conditions. It is usually tied to Euribor (the European interbank reference rate) plus a fixed margin set by the bank.

What is Euribor?

Euribor (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) is the reference interest rate at which European banks lend to each other. Bank loans are often tied to Euribor to determine the variable interest rate.

How to choose the most favorable mortgage loan?

When choosing a mortgage loan, it is important to compare: the interest rate (fixed and variable), the monthly payment, the total repayment amount, hidden costs, fees, and insurance.

Is the calculator accurate?

The calculator is designed for informational calculations based on standard amortization formulas. Actual terms may vary depending on the bank, credit history, insurance, and other factors.

What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table showing how the loan is repaid each month: how much goes toward principal, how much toward interest, and how much balance remains.

Can I use the calculator for loans from different banks?

Yes. You can enter any interest rate, term, and down payment according to the bank's terms you are interested in. The calculator is not tied to a specific bank.

What is a one-time payment in the calculator?

A one-time payment is an extra amount you enter in the calculator to see how it affects your loan. It is applied directly to the remaining principal, which can reduce the total interest paid and shorten the repayment period.

When should I use the one-time payment option?

Use it when you already have an existing loan and plan to make an extra payment at a specific month. This helps you see how much you could save in interest and how much earlier you can finish the loan.

Does the calculator reduce my monthly payment or loan term?

The calculator assumes the extra payment will reduce your loan term, keeping your monthly payment the same. This is the most common method used by banks, but your bank may offer other options.

Are bank fees for early repayment included?

No. The calculator shows savings without including any early repayment fees. Check your loan agreement or contact your bank to confirm if such fees apply.
