> pravidlá výpočtu schopnosti ručiť za pôžičku <

1. BASIC CRITERIA FOR INCOME ASSESSMENT

The documents must clearly show that after deducting all liabilities and the subsistence minimum, the guarantor has sufficient disposable income, specifically:

- v prípade zamestnanca:

Zostatok po odpočítaní životného minima a všetkých záväzkov od priemerného čistého mesačného príjmu musí presahovať sumu stanovenú v bode 2.

- v prípade SZČO, slobodného povolania:

-zostatok po odčítaní súčtu záväzkov a životného minima od 1/12 čiastkového základu dane z príjmov podľa § 6 Zákon č.  595/2003 Z. z. Zákon o dani z príjmov, musí byť vyšší ako je uvedené v bode 2.

2. MINIMÁLNY POŽADOVANÝ DISPONIBILNÝ PRÍJEM PODĽA VÝŠKY SPLÁTKY

- for a monthly installment up to €100 (inclusive) = 1.5 times the amount of the installment

- for a monthly installment from €101 to €300 (inclusive) = 1.2 times the amount of the installment

- pri mesačnej splátke nad 300 € =  1,0-násobok výšky splátky

EXAMPLE CALCULATION FOR AN EMPLOYEE

Average documented net income: 900,00 €

Mortgage installment: 350,00 € 

Other loans: 0 €

Dependent children: 1

Calculated installment of the requested loan: 120,00 €

Method: 

900,00 - 350,00 - 273,99 (subsistence minimum for a person) - 125,11 (subsistence minimum for a dependent child) = 150,90 €

120,00 (calculated installment amount) x 1,2 (coefficient for installments from 101,00 to 300, 00 €) = 144,00 €

Conclusion: The guarantor meets the requirement because  150,90 € > 144,00 €

PRÍKLAD VÝPOČTU V PRÍPADE SZČO, SLOBODNÉHO POVOLANIA

Average documented net income: 500,00 € (which corresponds to 1/12 of the partial tax base according to § 6 of Act No. 595/2003 Coll., which is 6,000.00 € / 12 = 500.00 €)

Mortgage installment: 0 € 

Other loans: 0 €

Dependent children: 2

Calculated installment of the requested loan: 80,00 €

Method: 

500,00 - 00,00 - 273,99 (subsistence minimum for a person) -250,22 (subsistence minimum for 2 dependent children) = -24,21 €

80,00 (výška vypočitanej splátky) x 1,5 (koeficient pro splátok do 100,00€) = 120,00 €

Záver: ručiteľ nespĺňa podmienku, pretože  - 24,21 < 120,00

Method: 

500,00 - 00,00 - 273,99 (subsistence minimum for a person) -250,22 (subsistence minimum for 2 dependent children) = -24,21 €
