PCP Calculator

Estimate Personal Contract Purchase costs: add your optional final payment as a % of car price (GFV-style), and we amortise the rest — same idea as our HP Calculator but with a balloon at the end.

Running costs: Fuel fill, trip cost, station savings.

Amount to finance (monthly)

£13,250.00

Car price − deposit − optional final payment.

Optional final payment (GFV)

£8,750.00

35.0% of car price — if you keep the car.

Estimated monthly payment

£335.42

Fixed each month on the financed balance (last month may differ slightly).

Term

Total monthly repayments

£16,100.08

Total interest

Total payable (keep the car)

£27,850.08

Deposit + all monthly instalments + optional final payment.

Breakdown by year

Each bar is a full year of monthly payments: principal and interest paid in that year (the optional final payment is not included here — it's due at the end of the term if you purchase the car).

Frequently asked questions

How is PCP different from HP on this calculator?
Hire purchase (HP) finances the full amount after your deposit until you own the car. PCP adds an optional final payment (often called GFV or balloon), set here as a % of the car price. Your monthly payments cover the difference between price, deposit, and that final payment, plus interest — same amortisation maths as our HP tool on that net amount.
Is the final payment the same as the guaranteed future value?
We treat your “final payment %” as the optional purchase payment at the end if you want to keep the car — in line with how many lenders quote GFV as a % of list price. Real agreements may fix GFV in pounds; always check your contract.
What if I hand the car back?
You may owe nothing more than agreed charges if the car meets condition and mileage rules — this calculator assumes you pay the optional final payment to keep the car, so total payable includes it.
Is this regulated financial advice?
No. Illustrative only. Confirm figures, fees, and options with your lender or dealer.

Illustrative estimates only — not a credit offer. FuelNearby is not a lender. Fees, mileage, and handback options differ by contract; read your agreement.
