The Euribor has risen again this month: the September 2026 average stands at around 3.2%, after several weeks of consecutive rises. If you have a variable-rate mortgage, now is a good time to understand what this movement means for your monthly payment and whether it is worth considering a change.
What is happening with the Euribor
After a period of relative stability, the Euribor has resumed an upward trend this summer. For anyone with a variable-rate mortgage tied to this index, the annual or six-monthly review of the payment will reflect that movement, with a consequent increase in the monthly instalment.
How it affects you if you have a variable-rate mortgage
The impact depends on your mortgage's margin and on when your review falls due. As a guide, on a €150,000 mortgage over 25 years, each percentage point the Euribor rises can mean between €70 and €90 more per month, depending on the agreed margin. It is not a minor figure if the upward trend continues.
Is it worth switching to a fixed rate now?
There is no single answer: it depends on how many years you have left on your mortgage, your current margin and the fixed or mixed-rate terms you can get on the market today. If you have many years of the loan left and value the peace of mind of a stable monthly payment, it is usually worth looking into it seriously. If you have only a few years left, the cost of the loan modification or mortgage transfer (subrogation) may not justify the change.
