Informative calculation model
Here is a representative example of the calculation of a New House Mortgage Loan in lei:
If you take a "New House" mortgage loan in amount of 238.000 lei on a period of 318 months, you will have a variable interest rate of 7,99 % per year (consisting of the fixed margin of the bank of 2% per year + IRCC) and you will pay a monthly installment of 1.803 lei (calculated by the method of repayment in equal installments + interest). In this case the total cost of the loan is 335.427 lei, meaning you will return to the bank in total 573.427 lei, and the APR is 8,29 % per year. Additional, the client pays an annual management fee to FNGCIMM amounting to 0,15% applied annually to the balance of the guarantee granted. The loan will be guaranteed by a real estate mortgage on the purchased property, until its full repayment. We would like to inform you that there is a possibility to change, in the sense of the increase, the amounts due, in case of materialization of the interest rate risk, in the situation where the contracted credit has variable interest. At the same time, please keep in mind that the fluctuation of your own income can lead to affecting the possibility of payment.
