| Parameter | Description | Example | |-----------|-------------|---------| | | Total principal borrowed | €10,000 | | Nominal interest rate (TIN) | Annual rate without fees | 5% | | Term | Duration of the loan | 3 years | | Repayment frequency | Usually monthly | Monthly | | Opening fee | One-time upfront fee | €200 | | Other fees | Maintenance, study, etc. | €50/year | | Compulsory insurance | If bank requires home/life insurance for mortgage | €300/year |
Never compare loans or credit cards by TIN alone. Demand the TAE in writing and simulate it yourself if needed. A difference of just 0.5% in TAE can cost hundreds of euros over a few years.

A: No, unless the contract makes it mandatory. Simulators typically assume standard repayment. A difference of just 0
A: If there are zero fees, TAE = 0%. If a €100 fee on €1000 purchase, TAE could be ~30% for a 3-month term. A: No, unless the contract makes it mandatory
A: Only in very rare cases (e.g., negative fees or early disbursement premiums), but practically never for consumer loans.
