How much will my monthly loan payment be in Italy?
For a mortgage of 150,000 EUR over 25 years at 3.1%, the monthly payment is about 719.14 EUR. Change the amount, term and rate in the calculator above to see your own payment.
What is the APR (TAEG) and why is it higher than the interest rate?
The APR (TAEG) includes fees and required costs on top of interest. In our example with typical fees the APR (TAEG) is 3.44% while the nominal rate is 3.1%. Compare loans by the APR (TAEG) and by the total amount you repay.
Fixed or variable rate: which is better in Italy?
Variable Italian mortgages follow the 1 or 3 month Euribor, about 2.6% in October 2026, plus the bank spread. Some banks offer a cap that limits how high the rate can go. If rates rose by 2 points, the payment in our example would go up to 885.65 EUR. A fixed rate protects you from that risk, a variable rate can be cheaper when rates fall.
How much can I borrow in Italy?
Italian banks usually keep the mortgage payment within about one third of net household income and lend up to 80% of the property value. Young buyers can get more with the Fondo Prima Casa guarantee. Enter your net income to check your ratio.
Loans in Italy right now
In Italy the nominal rate is called TAN and the total yearly cost TAEG. Mortgages are mostly fixed, with variable ones linked to the 1 or 3 month Euribor. The Bank of Italy sets usury thresholds (tassi soglia) every quarter, and the Bersani law lets you repay a home mortgage early without any penalty.
The average mortgage TAEG is about 3.99% in 2026. Fixed mortgages usually start at about 3% TAN.
Bersani law: no early repayment penalty on mortgages for buying or renovating a home.
Usury thresholds apply to every loan, for example about 9.65% for fixed-rate mortgages in Q4 2026.
Banks usually lend up to 80% of the value and keep payments within about one third of net income. Under-36s may get a state guarantee for up to 80% (Fondo Prima Casa).
Understand your loan before you sign
1
What the APR (TAEG) tells you
The nominal interest rate only covers interest. The APR (TAEG) adds the fees and costs you must pay to get the loan, such as processing fees, account fees and required insurance, and turns everything into one yearly percentage. Two loans with the same interest rate can have very different APR (TAEG). When you compare offers for the same amount and term, the lower APR (TAEG) is usually the cheaper loan.
2
Fixed or variable rate
A fixed rate keeps your payment the same for an agreed period, so you know exactly what you pay. A variable rate is a reference rate (for example Euribor) plus the bank's margin. It is often lower at the start, but your payment rises when the reference rate rises. Use the stress test above to see your payment if rates go up by 1, 2 or 3 points, and only choose variable if you could still pay that.
3
Equal payments or equal principal
With equal payments (annuity) the monthly amount stays the same, and at the start most of it is interest. With equal principal the first payments are higher but fall every month, and you pay less interest in total. Switch the repayment option in the calculator to see the difference.
4
The full cost of borrowing
Look beyond the monthly payment. Add up interest, upfront fees, monthly account and insurance costs, valuation and notary costs. A longer term lowers the payment but increases the total interest a lot. The line "cost per 100 borrowed" shows how much you pay for every 100 you borrow.
5
Early repayment
Paying off part of the loan early saves interest. Many countries limit what banks may charge for it, and variable-rate loans can often be repaid without a fee. Read the early repayment clause before you sign.
Checklist before you sign
Compare at least three offers for the same amount and term.
Compare the APR (TAEG) and the total amount to repay, not only the interest rate.
Check what happens to a variable rate if the reference rate rises by 2 to 3 points.
Keep your monthly payments well below the affordability limit and keep savings for emergencies.
Ask which insurance is mandatory and how much it costs.
Read the early repayment terms and any fees for changing the loan.
