How to Use How It Works

UK Car Finance Calculator

Finance Type

Vehicle Information

What this is: The total price you're paying for the vehicle (OTR price including VAT, registration, and delivery).

How much to put down: Typically 10-20% of vehicle price. More deposit = lower monthly payments and less interest. Use savings or part exchange equity.

Fees

What it covers: Admin fee charged by the finance company. Check your finance quote or ask the dealer.

Finance Terms

How to get your rate: Check with your bank, dealer, or online lenders. APR includes interest and fees as required by FCA.

How to choose: Shorter terms = higher payments but less total interest. Longer terms = lower payments but more total interest. Consider your budget and plans.

Extra Payments (Optional)

How to choose: Select how often you want to make extra payments. More frequent payments reduce total interest paid.

How it helps: Additional amount you plan to pay each month. Reduces term and total interest. Check if your agreement allows overpayments without penalty.

When to use: Single additional payment (bonus, inheritance, etc.) applied to first payment. Reduces principal and total interest.
