BYD Novated Lease Calculator: Find Out Your Savings
New government legislation aims to make EVs more affordable through novated leasing, but the critical question remains: “What will it cost me?” Vehicle Solutions Australia’s novated lease calculator gives you an instant estimate of the cost to your take-home pay for any vehicle up to the FBT-exempt limit of $91,387.
When using a novated lease calculator, it’s essential to know what’s included and what’s not. Providers may adjust fuel, tyres, and service costs to lower quotes, which can lead to higher expenses later. Always review the running costs and their calculation to ensure an accurate estimate.
The Novated Lease Calculations
Charge Allocation (Was the old-fashioned fuel)
In our novated lease calculator, we have included an allocation of $750 per year for charging your vehicle. Depending on usage, this can be changed before starting the lease or at any point during the lease term.
Tyres
In a novated lease calculator, tyre budgets vary due to price differences based on tyre type. We research average costs per vehicle category and apply them to an estimated tyre replacement schedule to set the budget.
(Average cost of a tyre X 4) = Cost of a set of tyres.
Your annual km travelled X the lease term in years = Total KMs
Total KMs/35,000kms (average tyre change period) = Sets of tyres required.
Sets of tyres required X Cost of the set/years of lease = Total tyre budget per year.
Example: Mary drives 15,000 km per year and is about to start a 5-year lease. A set of her tyres costs $850.
15,000 X 5 = 75,000kms /35000 = 2.14 sets of tyres X $850 per set = $1,819/5 years = $363.80 per year.
Maintenance
Most cars need a service every 10,000 to 15,000km, and the cost depends on the type of vehicle you choose. However, EVs generally require less servicing, so we have allocated $350 annually.
Registration and Insurance
For registration and insurance renewals, we use an estimate again depending on the type of vehicle chosen.
Finance
The finance is on a standard novated lease calculation with minor variations.
- There’s often concern about the balloon payment at the end of a lease, called the residual or final value. While novated leasing lets you pay for the car through your employer, saving on tax, you don’t gain equity in the vehicle. Leasing a vehicle below the luxury car tax threshold can result in substantial tax savings, mainly due to exemptions from fringe benefits tax. At the end of the lease, you’ll need to pay the car’s market value.
- Your first year of Comprehensive Car Insurance can be financed, so no upfront payment is needed. When it’s due again, simply send the renewal, and your Salary Packaging provider can pay it from your novated lease account.
Residual Value
The balloon payment at the end of your lease, known as the residual value, must be paid based on the car’s market value. Individuals can purchase the vehicle outright at the end of the lease term. While paying through your employer saves on tax, you don’t gain equity in the car, so the balance is due at the end of the lease.
GOOD NEWS! Because there is a residual value at the end, your repayments are cheaper during the lease term. Most people use these cheap finance payments to get into a more expensive car.
The residual value is an ATO-set percentage based on the lease term, but it has a buffer of approximately 5% on either side of the required rates. Please read a more detailed article and view the ATO-set percentages by clicking HERE.
Loan or Lease
For most people buying a car means they need some form of finance. One of the most common questions is wouldn’t I be better off putting the car on a standard car loan? To get a true comparison of the difference between a loan and a lease, please read our article by clicking HERE.
Finance Approval Conditions
Once you’re satisfied with the results from our novated lease calculator, the next step is lease approval. Approval is typically easier than standard finance since payments are deducted from your pre-tax salary, giving financiers confidence in repayment.
To get a pre-approval started, click HERE. Pre-approval gives you non-binding approval on your chosen vehicle without pressure to proceed. It strengthens your negotiating position, allowing you to request a cash price for immediate delivery.
