Car Lease Amortisation Calculator

How to use our Vehicle Lease Repayment Calculator
Our Vehicle Lease Repayment Calculator helps you estimate monthly lease repayments for a motor vehicle by modelling three key variables: interest rate, lease term, and the residual or balloon amount payable at the end. It’s important because small changes to any of these inputs can materially affect cash flow, total interest over the term, and the end-of-lease obligation, helping you compare scenarios before you speak with a lender or novated leasing provider.
How to complete the form for the best result:
1. Purchase Price
Enter the total amount you want financed for the vehicle. Include relevant upfront costs you intend to roll into the lease (for example, on-road costs or insurance where applicable). Use whole numbers only (no decimals, commas, or dots).
2. Balloon or Residual Value (percent of purchase price)
Select the residual percentage. A higher residual generally reduces the monthly payment but increases the amount left owing at the end, which can increase overall cost across the term. Choose a residual that matches your intended end-of-lease plan (keep, refinance, or sell).
3. Term of Loan (years)
Choose the number of years. Longer terms usually reduce monthly repayments but can increase total interest paid. Select a term that suits how long you expect to keep the vehicle and your budget tolerance.
4. Interest Rate (per annum)
Select an interest rate to simulate. Use a conservative rate when stress-testing affordability, because your actual rate may differ depending on lender policy and your circumstances.
5. Calculate

How to interpret the results:
1. Monthly repayment estimate: Use this as a budgeting guide and compare scenarios by adjusting term, rate, and residual.
2. Amortisation charts: Review how the balance reduces over time and how much of each payment is interest versus principal; this highlights when interest costs are highest and the impact of a larger residual.

Australia's new-vehicle market is entering a more complicated pricing phase as the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard starts to influence how car makers allocate stock, promote lower-emission models and manage higher-emission vehicles. For buyers, the policy is not just an environmental headline. It may gradually shape the cars that are easiest to find, the incentives attached to them and the total amount that needs to be financed. - read more
The Reserve Bank of Australia's latest decision to leave the cash rate unchanged has given car buyers a little more breathing room, but it should not be read as a signal that vehicle finance is about to become dramatically cheaper.

Australia’s car finance market is still offering sharp advertised rates in July 2026, but the latest comparison tables show why borrowers need to read beyond the headline percentage. Current secured car loan data places several leading offers in the high-five per cent range for eligible borrowers, with some new-car products advertised from about 5.67% p.a. However, comparison rates vary, and that difference can reveal the effect of fees, loan structure and eligibility conditions. - read more
