Calculate your repayments
Enter a couple of details below to estimate your repayments
This information is provided for illustrative purposes only. It does not constitute a contract. We are not recording and will not use the information quoted by you in this calculator. The results are based on the current offered rate for the loan type selected, which is variable. Certain assumptions have been made when calculating these amounts including that the loan is drawn down today and that the first repayment is made based on the frequency you have selected. If you have selected a monthly repayment frequency and you are using this calculator on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month which precedes a month which doesn’t have the same number of days, it is assumed your first repayment will be the last day of the following month. Any change in the interest rate, drawdown day, first repayment date, or repayment frequency will change these figures. The total amount repayable and cost of credit are based on the assumption that the interest rate remains unchanged for the duration of the loan term. The APR quoted for personal loans is based on a typical loan with a variable interest rate in line with the loan type selected and is not specific to the loan details you have entered. Additional fees may apply for early repayment of a fixed rate agreement or if an account falls into arrears..

How our loans work
We want you to have all the information you need to borrow confidently. Here are a few points to consider.
3 hour online loan approval*
Yes – when you apply online for loans less than €30,000, we really can turn it around this quickly. If you’re a customer with us, we already know a little bit about you, which makes it very straightforward for us to decide how much you can borrow. So, providing you apply telling us everything we need to know between Monday to Friday and between 9:00 and 17:00 (excluding bank holidays), we can let you know our decision within three hours. Once we approve your loan and you request your money, we will put the money into your Current Account.
Understanding our rates
Our car loan and hire purchase interest rates – between 8.45% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and 8.95% APR depending on the type of loan – are some of the most competitive and consistent on the market.
Our loan rates are variable (our hire purchase interest rates are fixed). If your rate changes, your repayment amounts stay the same. So, if the rate rises during the loan term, you will have to make extra payments at the end of the term, and if the rate falls, you might pay off your loan sooner.
A representative example for you on a car loan:
A typical €15,000 four-year loan with a variable interest rate of 8.65% and 8.95% APR (Annual Percentage Rate), where the interest rate and APR does not vary during the term, has 48 monthly instalments of €369.26 and the total cost of credit (the total amount repayable less the amount of the loan) is €2,724.48.
A representative example for you on hire purchase:
A typical €15,000 four-year hire purchase agreement with a fixed interest rate of 8.45% APR (Annual Percentage Rate), where the interest rate and APR does not vary during the term, has 48 monthly instalments of €365.43 and the total cost of credit (the total amount repayable, including fees, less than the amount of the loan) is €2,616.83.
A representative example for you on a green personal loan:
A typical €15,000 four-year green personal loan with a variable interest rate of 6.25% and 6.40% APR (Annual Percentage Rate), where the interest rate and APR does not vary during the term, has 48 monthly instalments of €353.89 and the total cost of credit (the total amount repayable less the amount of the loan) is €1,986.72

Common questions
-
What is the difference between a car loan and a hire purchase agreement?
A car loan is a variable rate personal loan to enable you to buy a used or new car. Car loans available from €1,000 to €75,000.
Hire purchase allows you to borrow money at a fixed interest rate to buy a used or new car. The bank retains security interest over the car until all repayments have been made. The car becomes yours when all the instalments due have been made & the purchase fee has been paid. Hire purchase is available for amounts of €10,000 to €60,000.
-
Can I apply for hire purchase on new or used cars?
Yes, you can apply for hire purchase for either new or used cars.
-
When will I receive a decision on my car loan application?
We endeavour to give you an instant decision on your car loan. Hire purchase timings will be advised when you apply. If your car loan application is referred to our lending team for review you will receive a decision within three business hours. Our business hours are 9.00 to 17.00 Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Although we aim to provide you with a decision within three business hours, this may be extended for technical or other reasons. If you have provided us with your mobile phone number, we will text you once a decision is available. Once a decision is available, you can log into your AIB Internet Banking and select “My Application & Documents” under the “Apply & Open” menu to view the decision.
-
How soon will I receive the money?
Once we approve your loan and you request your money, we’ll send the money straight to your Current Account.
