This has already been discussed with the bank by phone today, whereby this willingness was also signaled with the words "We will calculate it as soon as you have made a final decision on this." As a profit-oriented company, they have certainly already prepared the calculation as well.

The question here is whether the fastest possible repayment is really the best option. Purely from the perspective of financial maximization, there is little reason to make special repayments on the low-interest loans as long as you get a fixed interest rate multiple times higher. Now the real person is not a Homo Oeconomicus and some feel more comfortable without debt, even if they pay a few euros extra for it.

That's weird, does the calculation alone cost anything?

Otherwise, I tend to go for immediate redemption. It's also psychologically more sensible. Having money in the account leads to all sorts of nonsense^^

We are currently setting the maximum annual special repayment for 9, 8, 7… years, as long as it is worthwhile due to the interest rate difference. Nothing tempts here because it is fixed. The situation is similar, money is available, the interest gain is higher than the interest debt. For me, only low-risk fixed-term deposits of the corresponding amount would be considered here. The "debt" is de facto covered by the fixed-term deposit.

It is not also psychologically more sensible, but only psychologically more sensible. Otherwise... I wouldn’t know what purpose it should serve. Economically it is not sensible, since you can easily beat the loan interest rate risk-free. Even daily allowance is now over 2%, fixed deposit anyway.

You will have to pay capital gains tax, possibly solidarity surcharge and church tax, on the capital gains exceeding the allowance. It would be important to fully utilize the annual allowance, i.e. you want a fixed deposit with annual interest payouts and not the entire yield at the end of the term.
