In the case of a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate remains the same for the entire term. This fixed interest rate means you can plan your budget reliably.

Amortizing a fixed-rate mortgage

You can amortize your fixed-rate mortgage directly or indirectly.

Direct amortization

In the case of direct amortization, you pay back a fixed amount on a regular basis. Every payment reduces the size of your mortgage. So the amount of interest you have to pay also decreases. Since mortgage interest is tax deductible, it also means your tax burden increases.

Indirect amortization

In the case of indirect amortization, you pay the amortization amount into pillar 3a. The mortgage is not repaid until you withdraw your pillar 3a assets. Your interest payments remain the same, but you benefit twice with regard to taxes: through the deduction of interest and the deduction of pillar 3a contributions.

How are fixed-rate mortgages different to other mortgages?

A fixed-rate mortgage offers security because you know exactly what your interest costs will be during the mortgage term. However, it also means that you have to pay this interest rate for the entire term. If interest rates fall in the future, you won’t be able to take advantage. You’ll only be able to benefit if you have a mortgage with a variable interest rate (SARON mortgage).

How have interest rates for mortgages developed?

Interest rates are continually subject to greater or smaller fluctuations. Various economic factors influence how interest rates develop, such as the key interest rate set by the Swiss National Bank and conditions on the capital market. The approximate interest rate development of a fixed-rate mortgage can be derived from the swap rate. Swap rates reflect market interest rates and thus indicate in which direction fixed-rate mortgages are headed. However, interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages also include other factors and are therefore not exactly the same as the swap rate.

What are the risks of a fixed-rate mortgage?

A new interest rate is set when the term of the fixed-rate mortgage expires. If interest rates have risen during the term of the mortgage, the new financing solution may be more expensive as a result. To reduce the risk of this happening, you can take out several mortgages with different terms (known as tranches). Then, you won’t have to renegotiate the entire mortgage in one go.

Changes to your personal circumstances, such as moving house, divorce or losing your job, can also pose a risk,. Because because it’s usually only possible to terminate a fixed-rate mortgage if you sell the financed property. In other words, it’s important that you carefully consider not only the interest rate but also whether a fixed-rate mortgage is suited to your situation and which term is right for you.
