Real numbers, including the tax treatment other calculators skip. Edit the assumptions to match your quote — no login, no obligation.
Use these tools to compare asset finance routes, model bridging costs with every fee visible, and understand how tax relief changes the true price of funding. They are illustrative, not quotes — but they answer the question you actually have before you speak to a broker.
Tera provides free UK business finance calculators covering borrowing capacity, loan and MCA comparisons, tax bill spreading, invoice finance, commercial mortgages and development profit-on-cost — with representative rates you can edit to match a quote.

Why we built honest finance calculators
Most online finance calculators show a monthly payment and stop. For UK businesses, that is rarely the number that matters. Corporation tax relief on asset purchases, the difference between hire purchase and operating lease treatment, and bridging fees deducted from day-one advance all change what funding actually costs.
Tera's calculators are built for business owners and finance directors who want to sanity-check a quote before speaking to a broker. Edit rates, deposits, terms and fee lines to mirror a term sheet — then request an exact figure from our lender panel with no obligation.
Who these tools are for
These calculators serve UK SMEs, property investors and company directors comparing asset finance structures or bridging costs. They assume ex-VAT figures unless noted and use representative UK tax rates — confirm eligibility for capital allowances, Annual Investment Allowance and full expensing with your accountant.
If you are a partner or accountant referring clients, share the calculator URL — inputs persist in the query string so you can pick up the conversation where they left off.
