Frequently asked questions

How is the payment calculated?

With the annuity formula: the payment stays the same for the whole term. At first a larger part is interest, later a larger part is repayment.

What is the difference between nominal and effective annual rate?

The nominal rate is the pure interest rate of the loan. The effective annual rate also includes fees and extra costs. It is usually higher and better for comparing offers.

Why is total interest lower with a shorter term?

You owe the bank the money for a shorter time, so less interest builds up. The monthly payment rises in return.

How do I compare loan offers?

Compare the effective annual rate and the total cost, not only the monthly payment. Look at special repayments, payment protection insurance and fees.
