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 6,79% (based on 5Y interest rate period); with home insurance and online discount, monthly repayment instalment HUF 91 529, total amount to repaid HUF 22 140 120, total loan charges HUF 10 140 120; within this latter, fees and costs HUF 173 160. The annual percentage rate (APR) is 7,1%.
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 600,000

25%

35%

50%

 

net monthly income of at least HUF 600,000 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.

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.

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.
