I would assume that the fixed interest period for both loans ends 10 years after the contract date, regardless of whether you now have a one to three year repayment-free start period with KfW.
That's correct. The fixed interest period is a fixed term.
I somehow don't understand that. But the interest rate stays the same, doesn't it? I made a table, but I don't know how to implement it mathematically. Do you have any tips for that? I would like to see what interest rate will be shown after 10 years.
The interest rate remains the same during the fixed interest period. But since you are making repayments, after the first installment you already have the original debt minus the repayment portion. So with the second installment, you are paying interest only on a smaller loan amount.
Example:
Loan €100,000 with 5% interest and 5% initial repayment ==> yearly consideration for simplicity
first installment €10,000 = €5,000 interest and €5,000 repayment
second installment €10,000 ==> since you have already repaid €5,000, you now pay interest only on €95,000 = €4,750 interest and €5,250 repayment
and so on.
That is why the repayment always includes the initial repayment plus the interest saved.
