    Will these cuts be passed on by the banks in full?

    How long before the banks pass on the interest rate cut?

    Hopefully
    How long before the banks pass on the interest rate cut?

    Probably 1-2 months, depending on when in the month your mortgage is paid.

    Not instant.... I got the first rate cut (which was announced 3 months ago), just 2 weeks ago. The next two will probably kick in the next two payments. The announcement happens before the rate goes active and then the bank have I think around a month in which to pass it on. Also there's the timing of your actual repayment.

    I'm on a tracker with AIB.

    Depends if your mortgage is tracker or variable too.

    Hi

    i am only new to all this my frist morg, repayment is this month, and i was very luck to get the tracker rate. when you say 43 euro per 100k does it make a difference how long your morg is for eg: 35years and if its a 100% or like 80%? hope i am explaining myself properly

    No the term doesn't matter- interest is charged on a monthly basis on the outstanding amount owed on the mortgage. The rate of interest is whats changing- not your capital repayments. A .75% reduction in interest rates is a reduction of EUR750 per year per 100,000 owed- divided by 12 you get a monthly reduction sum of around EUR60 per month (if the whole .75% is passed on).

    Its actually quite an easy calculation.

    Yes, per 100K owed, not borrowed.
