Equipment Finance Structure Comparison Calculator

Not all equipment finance works the same way. Our chattel mortgage calculator compares the most common business equipment finance structures side by side, so you can see how repayments, ownership, and cash flow differ before you choose one.

How This Equipment Finance Calculator Compares Your Options

Enter your equipment cost, deposit, interest rate, and term, and the calculator works out repayments across chattel mortgage, lease, and hire purchase side by side. Rather than assessing one structure in isolation, you can see directly how ownership timing and repayment amounts differ between options, all for the same piece of equipment, on the same numbers. 

That makes it easier to spot which structure actually suits your cash flow, rather than guessing based on a single quote. Adjust any figure and the comparison updates instantly, so you can test a few scenarios before settling on the structure you want to pursue.

Things You Should Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions business owners usually ask about equipment finance structures.

A finance structure where your business owns the equipment from the start, while the lender holds a mortgage over it as security until the loan is repaid.

With a chattel mortgage, your business owns the asset immediately. With a finance lease, the financier owns the asset and your business pays to use it over the term.

Under hire purchase, ownership transfers to your business only once all payments are made. Under a chattel mortgage, your business owns the asset from the outset.

It depends on your cash flow, how you want the asset to appear on your books, and how your accountant advises you to treat GST and tax deductions. There’s no single right answer for every business.

Often yes, particularly with chattel mortgage and hire purchase arrangements, though terms vary by lender. A balloon lowers your regular repayments but increases what’s owing at the end.

Yes, in different ways depending on the structure — this is worth discussing with your accountant, since it depends on your business’s GST registration and how the asset is used.

Yes, that’s exactly what this calculator is for. Enter the same equipment cost and term, and compare repayments across chattel mortgage, lease, and hire purchase side by side.
