What is the AIB Mortgage Calculator?
The AIB mortgage calculator is a free online tool designed to help homebuyers estimate monthly payments for their potential mortgage. By inputting details like loan amount, interest rate, and repayment period, users can get a clear picture of their financial commitments. This tool is especially useful when comparing different home loan options or assessing how much house they can afford.
How to Use the AIB Mortgage Calculator

The tool also allows you to adjust variables like property taxes, insurance, and PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) to see how they affect your total costs. For example, adding a 5% down payment might reduce your monthly payment by €150.
