This calculator estimates a standard amortising Hire Purchase agreement (equal monthly payments, no balloon). It is illustrative only, not a credit quote or offer of finance, and does not constitute financial advice. Your actual rate depends on your credit profile, the lender, the vehicle and deposit — always check the lender's representative example and full terms before signing.

How Hire Purchase works

With HP, you pay a deposit (often 10%) then fixed monthly instalments covering the remaining balance plus interest over the agreed term. You don't own the van until the final payment is made — the finance company retains legal title until then, which is why the vehicle can't usually be sold without permission during the agreement.

Tips to get a lower monthly payment

A larger deposit, a longer term, or a stronger credit profile will all reduce your monthly figure — though a longer term usually means more interest paid overall. Try the PCP/balloon calculator if you want the lowest possible monthly cost and don't mind a final payment.
