Our novated lease calculator is designed to give you a clear estimate of your weekly costs and potential tax savings in just a few steps.
To populate the novated leasing calculator, start by selecting a Special Offer model by clicking ‘Personalise Offer’ or scroll slightly down and search the make, model, year and variant of the car you’re considering. Whether you’re comparing petrol, hybrid, or electric vehicles, this helps tailor the estimate to your exact choice.
Where you live affects key costs like delivery fees, stamp duty, and registration. Choosing your state or territory ensures your novated lease calculation reflects real, location-based costs.

The yearly kilometres you drive impacts running costs like fuel, servicing, and tyres which are all bundled into your novated lease. The more you drive, the more benefit you may see from paying these costs pre-tax. When giving examples, we like to use the benchmark of 15,000km per year.
Your lease term plays a major role in your results, as it affects your running cost budgets, residual value and potential tax savings.
It’s also worth considering how long you expect to stay with your current employer, as novated leases are tied to your employment.
