Equipment finance repayments

How it works

Enter the amount the loan covers, your deposit or trade-in, the interest rate, term and any balloon. The calculator shows the monthly repayment, the total interest, and the same loan without a balloon for comparison. It doesn't show tax or GST treatment: ask your accountant.

Your figures stay in this browser. Nothing is sent to Farm CFO or anyone else.

The working

  • Amount financed = price - deposit or trade-in.
  • Monthly repayment = the payment, made at the end of each month, that pays the loan down to the balloon over the term.
  • Total interest = monthly repayment x months + balloon - amount financed.

Questions

Is a balloon a good idea?

It lowers the monthly repayment but you pay more interest and still owe the balloon at the end. It suits some cashflows, but plan how you'll pay or refinance it.

Can you arrange the finance?

Farm CFO doesn't arrange loans. Equipment and vehicle finance can be arranged through Levelhead Business Advisors, run by the same company, with any commission disclosed in writing.
