Check your real optionsHow a asset finance — hire purchase repayment is calculated
This calculator uses the standard amortising repayment formula — the same capital-and-interest method most UK lenders use. Each month you pay the interest due on the outstanding balance plus a slice of the capital, so the balance falls to zero by the end of the term. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones are mostly capital.
For example, a asset finance — hire purchase of £40,000 over 4 years at an indicative 8.9% works out at about £993.50 a month — roughly £47,688 repaid in total, of which £7,688 is interest. Change the amount, term or rate above to see how the numbers move.
What affects your rate
The asset itself is the security, so rates are often keener than an unsecured loan; the deposit, asset type and its resale value all feed the rate. The figures here are indicative illustrations, not quotes or offers — your real terms depend on the lender and your circumstances.
Frequently asked questions
Is the monthly figure a quote?
No — it's an indicative illustration. Hire purchase is often arranged with an upfront deposit and sometimes a final balloon payment, which this straight capital-and-interest view doesn't model.
What about the deposit and any balloon payment?
This calculator shows a level capital-and-interest schedule. A real HP agreement may take a deposit up front and leave a balloon at the end, both of which change the monthly figure.
What rate should I enter?
We pre-fill an indicative rate. Because the asset is the security, HP is often keener than unsecured borrowing — but the deposit and asset type move the real rate.
