Frequently asked questions

How is the monthly payment calculated?

The monthly payment uses the standard annuity formula: principal multiplied by the monthly rate, divided by one minus (one plus the monthly rate) to the power of minus the number of months. This gives a fixed payment that covers interest and capital repayment every month.

What is assurance emprunteur?

Assurance emprunteur is a life and disability insurance policy that most French lenders require for mortgage loans. It protects the lender if the borrower cannot repay. The cost is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial capital per year, commonly between 0.10 % and 0.50 %.

What is the difference between the taux nominal and the TAEG?

The taux nominal (nominal rate) is the base interest rate on the loan. The TAEG (taux annuel effectif global) includes the nominal rate plus insurance, arrangement fees and any other mandatory costs. Always compare TAEG figures, not just the nominal rate, when shopping for a loan.

Is this calculator suitable for all French loans?

This calculator works for any standard amortizing loan with a fixed monthly payment, including mortgage loans (pret immobilier), consumer credit and personal loans. It does not cover variable-rate loans or in-fine structures.
