Equipment and machinery
finance calculator

Enter the price, deposit, term and any balloon to see an estimated monthly repayment. Most businesses finance equipment with a chattel mortgage, where you own the asset from day one. A balloon lowers monthly repayments but adds to total interest. Results are estimates only. For a real quote, Novara compares 60+ lenders and shows you which ones fit your business.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the calculator result my actual repayment?

No. It is an estimate based on the rate and term you enter. Your real repayment depends on the lender, the asset and your business profile. A Novara broker can give you a written quote from the lenders that suit you.

Should I add a balloon?

A balloon lowers your monthly repayment because part of the loan is paid at the end. You pay more interest overall, and you need a plan to pay or refinance the balloon. Test both options in the calculator before you decide.

Chattel mortgage or hire purchase?

Most businesses choose a chattel mortgage because they own the equipment from the start. Hire purchase means the lender owns it until the last payment. Our chattel mortgage vs hire purchase guide compares them side by side.

Can I claim the equipment on tax?

Possibly. The ATO says the $20,000 instant asset write-off is permanent from 1 July 2026 for small businesses with aggregated turnover under $10 million (ATO, updated 4 Sep 2026). This is general information only. Speak to your accountant about your situation.

Can I finance used equipment?

Yes, many lenders finance used equipment. Age limits and terms vary by lender and asset type.
