The bank’s calculator shows half the picture

Bank calculators show interest and amortization. But operating costs, maintenance, property tax, and fee sustainability — the things that determine what you actually pay each month — are missing. A home with 8 500 SEK in interest and amortization can cost 14 000 SEK in reality. That’s the number you need before you bid.

New mortgage rules from April 1, 2026

Loan-to-value raised to 90%. Down payment lowered to 10%. Stricter amortization removed. Supplementary loan rules tightened. BoKalk is already updated.

The bank’s KALP calculation is done internally and rarely shown to you. Broker calculators don’t save your data between properties. With BoKalk you get the full picture — saved and structured.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the calculations?

BoKalk uses the same models as banks, based on Riksbanken's policy rate and Finansinspektionen's rules.

Where do the numbers come from?

All official figures — policy rate, amortization rules, loan-to-value caps and cost-of-living benchmarks — come from Riksbanken, Finansinspektionen, SCB and Konsumentverket. For operating and maintenance costs we have done our own research and developed reference values based on housing type, tenure, condition and how much work you do yourself versus hiring contractors.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, cancel anytime. No lock-in period.
