6-month Euribor – May 2021
The average 6-month Euribor for May 2021 is -0.513 %, computed from 21 daily fixings (complete). The month opened at -0.518 %, closed at -0.513 %, with a low of -0.518 % and a high of -0.505 %. Versus April 2021 the average is up +0.003 pp.
Most variable mortgages in the euro area are revised on the monthly average, not the daily value. A loan that resets in May on the 6-month Euribor plus 1 pp would pay 0.49 % for the coming period.
Every number on this page is a published fixing, not an estimate: daily values come from the Bank of Finland's copy of the Euribor series, monthly averages are the arithmetic mean of those fixings and are cross-checked against the ECB Data Portal, and the tables are rebuilt each business day after the previous day's fixing appears. Tenors use the ACT/360 convention. Where a monthly average differs from the ECB figure by more than a hundredth of a point the methodology page lists the case.
