How our car finance calculator works

Explore the cost of car finance by adjusting the figures. This calculator is an illustration only. You can get your personalised rate by logging into online banking. You can see how much you could borrow without affecting your credit score.

This is the total price of the car you want to buy or the price you’ve negotiated with your dealer. If you haven’t chosen a car, enter the amount you plan to spend.

£

Your deposit is the amount of money you pay upfront to secure the car. Include any part exchange paid for your existing car, if you’re trading it in.

£

You can choose how many months (between 12 and 60) you want to repay your car finance over. The longer the term the lower the monthly repayments, but the more you’ll pay in interest.

Please enter a term between 12 and 60 months

Option 1

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

Annual Percentage Rate, or ‘APR’, gives you an idea of how much it could cost each year, in interest, including any standard fees, to borrow money. The APR is shown as a percentage.

Optional lump sum

This is the final payment due if you want to keep the car. It's our predicted future value of the car at the end of the finance agreement and only applies to Flex Car Plan (PCP). You can either pay the optional lump sum to own the car, or hand the car back – return conditions apply. To find out more, view our product comparison page.

Car leasing

A car lease works like a long-term rental. It allows you to drive a new car for an agreed period of time and mileage for a fixed monthly rental. 

You won’t have the option to own the car, but it does mean you could drive a brand-new car within your monthly budget.
