Term Monthly versus total cost
  • Repayment examples depend on stated assumptions and are not lender quotes.
  • The monthly amount changes with the mortgage balance, interest rate and term.
  • A longer term can reduce the monthly payment while increasing total interest.
  • Examples normally exclude insurance, fees and other home-ownership costs.

Read the assumptions before reading the numbers

The examples below use standard repayment-mortgage maths. They are not lender quotes and do not include mortgage protection, home insurance, legal fees, valuation, survey, management fees, property tax, repairs or moving costs.

Use them to understand scale, then replace every assumption with your own figures in the Mortgage Calculator.

Example repayments by mortgage amount

This table uses a 30-year repayment mortgage at 4.00% interest.

€350,000 €1,671 €601,543 €251,543
€400,000 €1,910 €687,478 €287,478
€450,000 €2,148 €773,413 €323,413

Example repayments by interest rate

This table uses a €300,000 mortgage over 30 years.

Interest rate Approx. monthly repayment Planning note
3.50% €1,347 Lower-rate comparison.
4.00% €1,432 Middle example.
4.50% €1,520 Small rate increase check.
5.00% €1,610 Higher-rate pressure check.

Example repayments by term

This table uses a €350,000 mortgage at 4.00% interest.

20 years €2,121 €509,023 €159,023
25 years €1,847 €554,229 €204,229
30 years €1,671 €601,543 €251,543
35 years €1,550 €650,879 €300,879

The 35-year example has the lowest monthly repayment in this table, but the highest total interest. That is the trade-off buyers should understand before focusing only on monthly cost.

Should I compare 25 and 30 years?
