Calculator Use

The ebs cost calculator is a professional-grade tool designed to help homeowners and potential buyers estimate their monthly mortgage repayments and the total cost of credit. By inputting basic loan information, you can instantly see how different interest rates or loan terms impact your financial commitment.

Whether you are looking for a first-time buyer mortgage, moving home, or switching lenders, this calculator provides a clear breakdown of the costs involved in borrowing. You can also use the "Show Breakdown" feature to see the long-term impact of interest over the life of the loan.

Loan Amount
The total amount of money you intend to borrow (the principal).
Interest Rate
The annual percentage rate (APR) or the specific fixed/variable rate offered by the lender.
Term (Years)
The duration of the loan. Standard mortgage terms typically range from 10 to 35 years.

How It Works

When you calculate mortgage costs, the tool uses the standard amortization formula. This ensures that the monthly payment stays consistent while the ratio of interest to principal shifts over time. The formula used by the ebs cost calculator is:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1 ]

  • M = Total monthly payment
  • P = Principal loan amount
  • i = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12)
  • n = Number of months (Years × 12)

Calculation Example

Example: A first-time buyer taking out a mortgage for a property in Ireland.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Loan Amount (P) = €300,000
  2. Annual Interest Rate = 4.0% (0.04)
  3. Monthly Rate (i) = 0.04 / 12 = 0.003333
  4. Term = 30 years (360 months)
  5. Calculation: M = 300,000 [ 0.003333(1.003333)^360 ] / [ (1.003333)^360 – 1 ]
  6. Monthly Result = €1,432.25
  7. Total Repayment = €515,608.52

Common Questions

What is the difference between Fixed and Variable rates?

A fixed rate means your monthly payment will not change for a set period (e.g., 3 or 5 years). A variable rate can fluctuate based on the European Central Bank (ECB) rates or the lender's internal decisions, meaning your costs could go up or down.

How does the term length affect the ebs cost calculator result?

A longer term (like 35 years) reduces your monthly payment but significantly increases the total interest you pay over the life of the loan. A shorter term (like 15 years) has higher monthly payments but clears the debt much faster and cheaper.

Does this include Mortgage Protection Insurance?

No, this calculator only covers the principal and interest. In Ireland, you are usually required to have mortgage protection and home insurance, which will be additional monthly costs not reflected in this specific calculation.
