    Glossary: German mortgage terms explained

    Back to glossary

    The Effektivzins is the annual total cost of a loan as a percentage, which in addition to the Sollzins includes costs such as a Disagio or processing fees.

    It is calculated under the German Price Indication Ordinance (PAngV) and is the figure used to compare loan offers. Costs for notary, land register or building insurance are generally not included.
