Vehicles Calculators
Compare the finance and ongoing costs of an Australian vehicle with calculators for car loans, novated leases, depreciation, fuel and ownership expenses.
Use the car-loan tool to compare rates and terms, then include depreciation and running costs for a fuller ownership estimate. Novated-lease outcomes depend on tax and provider assumptions, so compare the complete written quote rather than only the pay-cycle deduction.
How to use these calculators well
- Include depreciation, finance, insurance and maintenance as well as fuel.
- Use the same ownership period and annual kilometres when comparing vehicles.
- Test a lower resale value and higher running-cost scenario.
