duration

We call duration the total period, when the loan should be paid back, so this is the period between the disbursement and the maturity of the loan.

monthly repayment

The amount that includes interest, administration fee and capital, and it should be paid to the Bank with regularity set in the loan contract (i.e. monthly) till the maturity of the loan.

Annual percentage rate (APR)

aims to compare different loan offers and to inform clients well. The APR is an indicator in percentage that shows the interest rate and those fees and costs which relate to the loan application and disbursement. There are cost types which are not included into the APR, for instance the interest for late payment, notary fee or the cost of duration extension.

interest period

is a time period, when the value to interest is fix. In general the longer the interest period, higher is the interest rate. In case of longer interest period, the bank runs the interest risk, meaning that the longer and more expensive interest period is a kind of insurance in case the referance interest rates go up in the future.

interest

it is the price of the loan, which should be paid by the borrower. The interest is defined in percentage, annual based and is fix within an interest period.

total amount to be repaid

includes the sum of monthly repayments, all interest, fee and administration costs related to the loan application till the maturity of the loan. There are cost types which are not included to the total amount to be repaid, for instance the interest for delay, notary fee and the cost of cost of duration extension.

total interest discount

The total amount to be repaid will be less with that amount if you apply the interest discounts in the calculator: K&H life insurance discount (0.2% for K&H life insurance or 0.2% for repayment insurance), K&H home insurance discount (0.1%). The calculator does not include premium client discount

The calculation is based on a non-subsidised K&H home loan with standard up-front fees and standard conditions as stated in the relevant Announcement, assuming that those conditions remain unchanged throughout the entire term.  
The annual interest rate and thus the monthly instalments are decreased by the chosen interest discounts. This calculation does not constitute an offer and does not replace the standard credit.
Representative example for qualified customer friendly mortgage loans with 5 years interest period:
For HUF 12 million loan with a 240-month term, with a variable annual interest rate of 7,19% (based on 5Y interest rate period); with home insurance and online discount, monthly repayment instalment HUF 94 409, total amount to repaid HUF 22 866 800, total loan charges HUF 10 866 800; within this latter, fees and costs HUF 208 640. The annual percentage rate (APR) is 7,6%.
The loan is provided by K&H bank. Number of instalments: 240. The loan is secured by real estate mortgage. Property insurance must be taken out for the real estate securing the loan.

should I choose a fixed or floating rate loan?

When you choose a long interest period, the interest rate risk is typically lower.

In case of a longer interest period, the responsibility of the interest rate risk belongs to the Bank.
Therefore, a longer and more expensive interest period can be interpreted as an insurance against unfavorable (and favorable) future interest rate changes.

Whether you choose a fixed or floating rate loan can also be influenced by legal conditions. The aim of the legislation is to enable the borrower to become indebted to a lesser extent with a risky loan (variable interest rate).

Furthermore, the maximum amount of credit that can be taken out depends on the income and the chosen interest period. The aim of the governing legislation (MNB Decree 32/2014 (IX.10.)) is to avoid over-indebtedness.

In the table below, you can see how much of the certified income can be spent on loan installments, at the given income level, and based on the interest period of the loan you intend to borrow

value of monthly net income

interest period

less than 5 years

at least 5 years, but less than 10 years

at least 10 years or fix

x% of income can be spent on loan installments

 

Monthly net income below HUF 800,000

25%

35%

50%

Net monthly income below HUF 800 thousand for green credit purposes

25% 35% 60%

 

net monthly income of at least HUF 800,000 or more

30%

40%

60%

So your decision can be greatly influenced by the statutory requirement for the burden of income and how important it is for you that the interest rate does not change over the term.
Available options: 5 years or 10 years, during which the repayment installments are unchanged.

Qualified consumer-friendly loan

In case of fix rate for 5 years, 10 years or fixed for the whole term while the repayment instalments are unchanged within the chosen term.

Our loans have received (except K&H green mortgage) the Qualified consumer-friendly rating.

With the K&H repayment-reducing loan, customers with an immediate repayment history can redeem their forint- or foreign currency-based real estate-backed loans provided by any bank. By switching, they can also save significant amounts compared to the current monthly installment (if the conditions of the loan to be redeemed are less favorable than recommended).

The interest rate may be modified at the beginning of each interest period according to an interest rate modification indicator, which is a publicly available ratio that objectively reflects any change in circumstances beyond the bank’s control. If the interest rate modification indicator is used, the loan rate may only be increased or decreased for reasons beyond the bank’s control. The National Bank of Hungary defines and publishes the rules on the calculation and applicability of the interest rate modification indicator; if it is applied, banks may only increase or decrease the loan rate according to the indicator.

fixed interest period within the whole term

That means that the interest rate and the monthly installment cannot change in the whole lifecyle of the loan.
