How to use our Truck Lease Finance Repayment Calculator
Our Truck Lease Finance Repayment Calculator helps Australian businesses estimate truck lease repayments before speaking with a lender. By modelling purchase price, interest rate, term and a residual or balloon payment, you can compare options, stress-test cash flow, and choose a structure that suits your operational needs and end-of-term plans (keep, refinance, trade, or pay out).
Why it matters: Truck lease repayments can look affordable while still carrying a large end payment. Adding a residual or balloon value may reduce monthly repayments, but it can increase total interest and leave a sizeable amount due at the end of the term. The calculator makes that trade-off clear.
How to complete the form for the best result
1. Purchase Price: Enter the truck’s purchase price as a whole number (no decimals, commas or symbols). Where relevant, consider whether you want to include on-road and other costs such as stamp duty, registration, insurance and tax-related amounts in your finance estimate (only include costs you expect to fund).
2. Balloon or Residual Value: Choose the residual as a percentage of the purchase price. A higher percentage generally lowers ongoing repayments but increases what you will owe at the end of the lease. Select a level that matches your expected end-of-term strategy and business cash reserves.
3. Term of Loan: Select the number of years you want to repay over. Longer terms typically reduce periodic repayments but can increase the total cost over time.
4. Interest Rate: Select an annual interest rate for the simulation. The listed rates are indicative only; your actual rate may differ based on lender policy and your circumstances. .
5. Calculate: Click calculate to generate the estimate and charts.
How to interpret the results
Review the estimated repayment amount alongside the amortisation charts showing the reducing balance over time and the split between interest and principal across the term. Use these outputs to compare scenarios, for example changing residual percentage or term, and to plan for the end-of-term residual payment.
