What is the Caravan Loan Calculator?

So you’ve made the decision to buy a new caravan, camper, motorhome or RV vehicle. Congratulations!

Caravans and RV’s are extremely popular for exploring the vast Australian landscape. Buying a caravan is a big purchase and given the price tag, buyers often choose to purchase their caravan through a financing agreement.

If you’re intending to take out a loan for your caravan purchase then the caravan loan repayment calculator above is the perfect tool to get the process started. 

The caravan loan calculator can show you how affordable financing a caravan can be. You will be able to get an estimate of how much you will be paying each week, fortnight or month, allowing you to see what you can afford. The estimated repayments you get from the calculator are based on various factors, such as loan term, loan amount, interest rates and the frequency of payments.

While the caravan loan calculator can’t take into consideration all of your personal circumstances and give you a 100% accurate repayment figure, it’s a great way to quickly get an estimate.

How To Use The Caravan Loan Calculator

Using the caravan loan calculator is easy. It helps you understand what you can afford and how much you can expect to be paying each week, fortnight or month, and over the course of the loan. Here are some key terms to understand when using the calculator:

• Loan amount: this is the total amount of money you intend to borrow for your caravan purchase. It will generally be the price of the caravan, minus the deposit. You can change this value in the loan calculator to get an idea of how much you can really afford to borrow.
• Loan term: a longer loan term will mean you can make smaller payments but over a longer period of time. It will take longer to pay the loan off and you will pay more interest, but your regular repayments will be more affordable.
• Interest rate: the lower your interest rate, the more affordable your loan will be. This figure is expressed as a percentage. The exact interest rate on your loan will depend on your personal circumstances.
• Frequency: the caravan loans calculator allows you to choose between weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments. While the repayment amount won’t change, one option might be easier for you to manage.

Why Use The Caravan Loan Calculator

When it comes to buying a caravan or RV, many people mistakenly only look at the purchase price. But if you’re intending to purchase your caravan through a finance agreement then you need to consider more than just the purchase price. 

It’s crucial to know the regular repayments you will be making on your loan, which will vary depending on how you choose to structure your loan. Before getting deep into the buying process, you should determine how much you can borrow and the repayments associated with that amount. The loan calculator is the easiest and fastest way to get an estimate of this. By entering each of the different factors discussed earlier, you will be able to determine what you can afford to pay back on a regular basis.

Knowing your repayments is most important when you’re taking out a caravan loan. This repayment figure is determined by those variables mentioned above. Out of those variables, you should be very cognizant of the interest rate. A higher interest rate will have you paying off more money over the term of the loan, on top of the purchase price of the caravan. Using the caravan loan calculator, you will be able to quickly see how much the interest rate impacts your repayments.

When you’re in the market for a new caravan, camper, motorhome or RV vehicle, knowing how your purchase and the repayments associated with it will impact your budget and lifestyle is a big benefit. Once you know your repayment numbers, you can work out how it’s going to impact your lifestyle.

Other Factors To Consider

Now you know the different factors that affect your repayments, let’s take a look at what else you should consider before taking out your caravan loan.

There are 4 questions you need to ask yourself:

1. What’s the price of the caravan?
2. What deposit will I be putting on the vehicle?
3. What is the interest rate?
4. How long will the loan be?

By answering these questions, you can determine how much your loan is actually going to cost you. While the cost of the caravan might be $50,000, you need to consider the answers to the questions above to work out the overall cost of the loan.

Many experts recommend that your total payment should not exceed 10% of your income. You need to allow money to be left over for other expenses in your life. If you are paying off other debts, this should also be taken into consideration.

It is often recommended that your loan term should not exceed four years. The longer the term of your loan, the more you will end up paying in interest. 

When deciding on how much you want to borrow, consider how your financial circumstances may change in the coming years. Are you likely to change jobs, move house, have children or encounter large medical bills? These will all impact your capacity to make your repayments. 

What Are The Next Steps?

Now that you have used the caravan finance calculator and have an idea of what repayments you can afford, you are ready to take the next steps. While the calculator gives you valuable insight into what you can and can’t afford, it’s important to contact a broker who can accurately assess your financial situation and borrowing power before taking out a loan.
