Example calculation for Bank Loan

A bank loan is one-off credit. If the 12-month Euribor is 1.921% (September 5, 2022) and the loan’s interest rate is a 3.9% margin plus the 12-month Euribor, the effective interest rate on a bank loan of 10,000 euros with a five-year repayment period will be 7.2%. A monthly servicing fee of 2.50 euros per month will be charged. An origination fee of 120 euros will be payable when the loan is drawn down. The estimated total amount payable will be 11,842 euros.

This calculation is based on the assumption that the entire loan has been drawn down, the loan interest rate, fees and charges are constant throughout the loan term, and the loan is repaid in equal instalments of 192.88 euros each month. The bank loan is granted by an OP cooperative bank.

Example calculation for Special Consumer Credit

Special Consumer Credit is a one-off loan: the effective interest rate for a 7,000-euro loan with a 5-year payback period would be 11.59 % if the credit interest rate were the 3-month Euribor + 7.95% (9.68 % in November 2022) and the loan servicing fee 6 euros per month.

The estimated total amount payable would be 9,181.69 euros. This calculation is based on the assumption that the loan is drawn down in a lump sum and the loan interest and charges and fees remain unchanged throughout the loan term. It also assumes that the loan is repaid in monthly instalments of 155 euros all the way to the final instalment.

Example calculation of hire purchase financing

Hire purchase financing is a one-off credit. Effective interest rate on a credit of 20,000 euros with a 5-year credit period amounts to 7.6% when the interest rate on financing is 6% (12/22), the establishment fee is 190 euros and the invoicing fee is 9 euros per month. The estimated total cost of credit is 23,959.10 euros, paid in 60 instalments of 399.40 euros each. This calculation is based on the assumption that the entire credit is drawn down at the same time and that interest on the loan, and the charges and fees, remain unchanged throughout the loan term.
