Note

Every figure on this page is an estimate based on the values you entered and on defaults from German federal law, the selected state's law and market practice, each as of the date shown next to it. This is not financial, legal or tax advice. The real amounts come from the notary's (Notar) bill, the tax office's notice and your lender's offer when you buy; check them before you sign. The site does not store the numbers you enter; they stay in the page address.

Monthly rate is the annual rate divided by 12; amounts are rounded to the cent. Notary fees and land register (Grundbuch) fees follow the federal fee table on the price; VAT is added once to each notary line.

The link carries only the numbers you entered. The site keeps no copy of them.

  • Annuity / equal installments

    A repayment method in which every monthly payment is the same amount, principal and interest together, as long as the rate stays the same.

  • Declining balance

    A repayment method: the same principal every month plus interest on what is still owed, so the first payment is the highest and each later one smaller.
