Representative example of a Green Finance loan - Personal
On a fully utilised Green Finance Loan of €25,000 at a variable borrowing interest rate of 2.50% p.a. for the first 10 years, followed by a 2.05% p.a. variable interest rate for the remaining 5 years, the APRC will be 2.48% p.a. The loan will be repayable in 120 equal monthly instalments of €167.11, followed by 60 equal instalments of €165.22. The total sum payable throughout the term of the loan will be €29,966.40 (being capital of €25,000, interest of €4,966.40, no booking fee will apply).
In this example, the applicable interest rate subsidy of 2.50%, provided by the European Investment Fund, would result in a further interest savings of €4,460.93 during the first 120 months of this facility, bringing the total amount payable over the full term of the facility down to €25,505.47 (being capital of €25,000 and interest of €505.47, no booking fee will apply).
