Everything you need to know about Varčevalni računi, including how they work, what to consider, and country-specific details.

Last updated: June 2026

Kaj so Varčevalni računi?

Varčevalni računi so bančni produkti, pri katerih zaslužite obresti na svojo stanje. V evrskem območju so vloge do 100.000 € na banko zaščitene z nacionalno shemo zajamčenih vlog. Na voljo sta dve vrsti: prosto dostopni računi (dvig kadarkoli) in vezane vloge (denar je zaklenjen za določeno obdobje v zameno za višjo obrestno mero).

Kako delujejo Varčevalni računi?

Odprete račun pri banki, položite sredstva in zaslužite obresti. Pri vezanih vlogah se strinjate, da zaklenete denar za določeno obdobje. Predčasni dvig lahko povzroči kazni. Banke v EU morajo sodelovati v skladu za zajamčene vloge, ki ščiti do 100.000 € na vlagatelja.

Pogosta vprašanja

Ali so varčevalni računi v evroobmočju varni?

Da. Vse države članice EU imajo shemo zajamčenih vlog, ki ščiti do 100.000 € na vlagatelja na banko v skladu z Direktivo EU 2014/49/EU.

Ali izbrati prosto dostopen račun ali vezano vlogo?

Odvisno od vaših potreb po likvidnosti. Vezane vloge običajno ponujajo 0,2–0,8 % več, vendar je denar zaklenjen.

Kaj je realni donos?

Realni donos je donos po davkih in inflaciji. Primer: 3 % bruto obrestna mera z 27,5 % davkom in 2 % inflacijo: 3 %×(1−0,275)−2 % = 0,175 %.
