Home-loan payment

Principal and interest. Insurance and fees are left out on purpose.

The effort rate compares the payment with that income. It ignores other loans.

How to read the result

The payment is a standard annuity: principal, monthly nominal rate and number of months. On a 250,000-euro home, a 50,000-euro deposit, 30 years, May 2026 12-month Euribor of 2.804% and a 0.9% spread, the nominal rate is 3.704% and the estimated payment is €921.02. Estimated total interest is €131,567.20.

The Bank of Portugal generally expects the borrower’s age at the end of the loan to stay within 75 years, and the effort rate under a rate shock to fit the budget. This page shows the effort rate without that shock. At 1,800 euros of net income the example payment takes a large share of the month, so treat it as a reason to raise the deposit, not as an offer.

The nominal rate is not the APR. Ask the bank for the standard information sheet and compare total cost.

Common questions

Does the payment include insurance and fees?

No. This payment is principal and interest only. A bank’s APR and total cost include insurance, fees and taxes. Compare offers by APR, not by this payment alone.

Which Euribor is filled in?

The May 2026 monthly average: 2.226% for 3 months, 2.536% for 6 months and 2.804% for 12 months. You can change it. A legal reset uses the previous month’s average, not today’s fixing.

What spread is typical?

Many banks advertise spreads from about 0.7% to 1.5%, depending on the borrower and tied products. The 0.9% here is only an editable starting point.
