Let’s look at your options
There might be more than one way to pay for your home improvements. Take a look at your options.
Fixed interest rate for first 5 years
Monthly Repayments for first 5 years
Variable interest rate for remaining term
Monthly Repayments for remaining term
Total Amount Repayable
Cost of Credit
This information is provided for illustrative purposes only based on limited information and is not an offer of a loan. It does not constitute a contract. The actual amount you can borrow and how long you can borrow for will depend on your circumstances and is subject to lending criteria, terms and conditions.
We are not recording and will not use the information quoted by you in this calculator.
Certain assumptions have been made when calculating these amounts including that the loan is drawn down today and that repayments are made monthly. 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 rates remain unchanged for the duration of the loan term.
Additional fees may apply for early repayment of a fixed rate agreement or if an account falls into arrears.
Personal Loan result:
Results are based on the current offered rate for the loan type selected, which is variable. The Annual Percentage Rate (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.
Lending criteria, terms and conditions apply. Personal loans are only available to over 18s. Subject to approval. Security may be required.
Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit, a hire- purchase agreement, a consumer-hire agreement or a BNPL agreement in the future.
SBCI Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme Result:
The interest rate on your loan has been reduced in part, due to a 2% per annum subsidy paid to AIB by the government through the SBCI scheme. The subsidy is paid as long as you continue to qualify for this loan as outlined in the terms and conditions. You don’t have to do anything. The interest rate is variable and is calculated daily on the cleared debit balance on the loan. The interest rate may fluctuate over the period of the loan but your repayments stay fixed throughout. If interest rates rise during the loan term, you may have to make some extra payments at the end of the term and if the rate on your loan falls, you may pay off your loan earlier.
The Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme is offered by the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) with the support of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund. The Home Energy Upgrade Loan Scheme benefits from a guarantee from the European Union.
The Top-up Mortgage result:
A Top-up mortgage is only available to existing AIB mortgage customers. If you’re considering a Top-up mortgage which is a second mortgage loan on your home, the amount you can borrow depends on factors including the balance on your current AIB mortgage loan, the value of your home, what you can afford to repay, what you plan to spend the money on and more.
Results are based on the current 5 year Fixed rate for the loan type selected at 50-80% Loan to Value (LTV), followed by the current 50-80% LTV variable rate for the remainder of the term. For variable rates, we calculate the Annual Percentage Rate Charges on the basis that the current rate will remain unchanged for the full term of the loan.
Our Annual Percentage Rate Charges include valuation fees of €150 and €65 and a €60 security release fee (at the end of the mortgage term). You may need to pay solicitor’s fees, review your home insurance and property insurance and more if you choose a Top-up mortgage.
If you break out of a fixed rate before that rate ends we may charge you a breakage cost. For further information please click the Home Mortgage Regulatory Information.
Warning: If you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.
Warning: You may have to pay charges if you pay off a fixed-rate loan early.
Warning: The cost of your monthly repayments may increase.

Upgrading to a greener home
Whether you are buying new, upgrading or building the dream — help is at hand.
Upgrading or buying an older home
No two home energy upgrades are the same and a number of factors will determine the extent of work that will be needed. Insulation is an important factor to get right. It keeps heat in and minimises costs. Think top down — start with the attic, walls, then floors. You might need to look at upgrading doors and windows too if they are older. Finding out the BER (Building Energy Rating) of the property is a good place to start. The lower the BER, the more work that will be needed to make your home energy efficient.Go to our BER explained section to find out more.
An extensive home energy upgrade will consider:- Wall, floor and attic insulation.
- Upgrading of windows and doors.
- Renewable energy systems such as solar panels.
- Ventilation Systems.
Paying for an extensive home energy upgrade
It might seem like a daunting task — but help is at hand. The Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland (SEAI) has a number of grants:- Insulation
- Solar power for electricity and hot water
- Heat pump systems
In our pledge to DO MORE we have developed some lower rate green finance options that could help to pay for your home energy upgrade.A greener self build
From 1 November 2019 all new residential houses require a Building Energy Rating of A2 or above. (Source: gov.ie 2024) This will mean your new home will be warmer, cost less to run and result in a lower carbon footprint, but you may need to think about the extra costs and work involved earlier on. Renewable energy systems such as solar panels and heat pumps might be some of the green initiatives used in your home to achieve an A2 rating. Click here to find out more. Aside from energy performance when looking to build a greener home, think of the location. Transport is a significant contributor to carbon emissions. When choosing your site consider if you can walk or cycle to local amenities or if a car (or second car) is going to be needed. You can choose an AIB Green Fixed Rate if you are buying, building or renovating the home you live in once it has or will have a BER rating of between A1 and B3.Find out more about green mortgages at AIB.
Buying or living in a new build
Newer built homes in Ireland will have a higher energy rating than older. From 1 November 2019 all new residential houses typically require a Building Energy Rating of A2 or above. (Source: gov.ie). But even new builds can benefit from further upgrades. Smart heating controls are a great way to manage energy consumption, track usage and with some systems you can control heating remotely through your smartphones. The BER (Building Energy Rating) of the property will help you to understand where on the energy rating scale your home sits. Go to our BER Explained section to find out more. If you live in a new build home or are considering buying a new build home with a higher energy rated you could benefit from our Green Lower Rate Mortgage.Heat pumps — need to know
