Accurate, Fast, Free-to-Use Car Loan Balloon Calculator

Using our calculator can assist buyers to understand how a balloon impacts the monthly vehicle finance payments. Simply vary the balloon amount and see how the repayments change. What makes our calculator extremely effective, is the high level of technology we have incorporated into our buyer tools. Developing resources to assist buyers confidently prepare for vehicle purchases with finance.

When using the calculator, users should be mindful of their ownership cycle and the potential value of the vehicle at resale time or at the end of the term, whichever comes first. The amount of a balloon should ideally be in line with the vehicle resale value at the end of the term. If the balloon is too large and above the value, the trade-in or sale may not cover the final payout to the lender.

The calculator can assist in deciding how much the balloon should be. A larger balloon resulting in lower repayments but potentially a higher total interest and a greater amount due at the end of the term. A small balloon results in higher monthly repayments, but potentially less total interest and less to pay out the loan at the end of the term.

When making any decisions involving finance, it is advisable to consider all the aspects and all the possibilities. A balloon payment is not available on all standard car loans, so selecting the credit facility which allows for a balloon, may be an advantage for many buyers.

The key advantage of including a balloon payment is in reducing the monthly finance payments to ease cash flow pressure with this major asset acquisition. Buyers may request a balloon that reduces monthly outgoings to an amount that works with their income and other expenses.

Opting for finance with a balloon compared with a loan without a balloon, may enable the purchase of a higher-priced vehicle or possibly a new rather than used vehicle. Enabling buyers to acquire the latest, more energy efficient vehicles which may require less servicing and maintenance over the ownership cycle. A prospect which may be seen as a major benefit in planning costs over the term.

At the end of the term, when the balloon is due for payment in full, refinancing may be considered. This may allow buyers to effectively extend the time to pay off their vehicle. When refinancing a balloon, the used vehicle financing interest rate would be applicable.

Balloon payments are widely used by many business buyers to effectively structure and manage vehicle finance. For assistance in planning your car loan with balloon payment, speak with one of our vehicle lending specialists.
