    What the calculator covers

    How to use the equipment finance calculator

    1. Enter the machine price (VAT-exclusive is the SA convention).
    2. Choose your deposit percentage — 10% is a good starting point.
    3. Set the finance term. Most SA lenders offer 24 – 72 months on plant.
    4. Adjust the interest rate. Prime is currently around 11.75% p.a.
    5. Add an optional balloon payment to reduce your monthly instalment.
    6. Toggle VAT on if you're funding the gross price.

    When the numbers look right, browse live finance deals, shop equipment for sale, or apply for asset finance and we'll route your application to South Africa's leading yellow-plant funders.
