What is a chattel mortgage?

A chattel mortgage is effectively another term for a secured business car loan. This means that your business borrows money from a lender to fund the purchase of a vehicle and you then make regular repayments until the loan is paid off.

Unlike other forms of business vehicle finance, your business takes ownership of the vehicle immediately, and the vehicle is used as collateral against the loan.

How a chattel mortgage works

How to use a chattel mortgage calculator

These are the details you'll need to provide to calculate your repayments:

  • The purchase price refers to the total amount you need to borrow to cover the cost of the vehicle.
  • The leasing term refers to how long you have to repay the loan (the loan term).
  • The interest rate is the rate of interest you'll make on the amount you borrowed.
  • The residual amount and percentage are optional fields and should only be filled in if you chose to make a residual payment. A residual payment is a lump sum that is paid at the end of the loan term.

Clint gets a chattel mortgage

Title

Clint has decided to purchase a vehicle through a financier. He understands that the vehicle will be used as security for the loan so he wants to make sure he chooses a loan that he can repay easily. In order to make sure he can make the repayments, he turns to the chattel mortgage calculator to get an idea of what his repayments will be.

He is looking to borrow $10,000 and hopes to get a 6% interest rate, a three-year loan term and he wants to make monthly repayments. He doesn’t plan to opt for a residual payment so he leaves those fields empty when using the calculator. Based on this information, Clint will be paying $302.71 each month towards the loan. He can now take that information and decide if he’d like to look for another loan or choose to apply for this one.

Questions you might have about the chattel mortgage calculator

How accurate is the calculator?

A chattel mortgage calculator comes up with a repayment amount based on the information you provide using basic arithmetic. If you use exact amounts based on a current loan or a proposed loan agreement your result will be accurate, but if you use estimates in the calculator your result will only be an approximation.

Can I use the calculations to get that exact loan from a lender?

A chattel mortgage calculator is only supposed to be used as an estimate of what you expect your repayment to be. It doesn’t mean that you’ll be offered that exact loan and repayment amount from a lender. Individual lenders will make up their own terms, including the interest rate, based on their findings during the application process and will offer a loan agreement from there.

Unless the vehicle is intended to be used for business purposes, and you want to take advantage of the tax offsets offered by a chattel mortgage, you may be better suited applying for a normal car loan.

    I want to purchase a mobile home and I would like to borrow $20,000. What is the maximum time and rate for repayment?

      JonathanJune 11, 2017

      Hi Tammy!

      Thanks for the comment.

      You may get in touch with a mortgage broker for a thorough advice on your repayments based on your specific circumstances. A mortgage broker is a professional who compares and helps you apply for home loans on your behalf. A good mortgage broker will give you personalised service all the way through to settlement.

      Hope this clarifies.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan

    Is there a cooling off period for channel mortgage finance?

      AvatarFinder
      ElizabethJuly 6, 2015Finder

      Hi Stichedup,

      Thanks for your question.

      This is possible but there would need to be a cooling off period specified in the contract for it to apply.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Elizabeth

      Hi Mike,

      Thanks for your comment. As finder.com.au is a comparison service, we can’t provide you with the chattel mortgage rates. You’ll need to contact a lender to find out more.

      Cheers
      Matt
