How does a balloon payment change the monthly cost?
It reduces the amount amortised monthly, because only the non-balloon portion of the loan is repaid in instalments — the balloon itself is settled separately at the end (paid, refinanced, or the asset returned, depending on the agreement type).

📋Présentation+
The amount financed is the asset price less any deposit, repaid over the term via a reducing-balance annual interest rate. If you set a balloon (or PCP-style final payment), its present value is deducted from the amount amortised each month, so the monthly instalment only repays the non-balloon portion — the balloon itself falls due as a lump sum at the end.
💡 Bonnes pratiques
- A lower monthly payment with a large balloon shifts cost to the end of the agreement — check you can afford (or refinance) the balloon when it falls due.
- Compare the annual interest rate, not just the monthly payment, across lenders — a longer term can look cheaper per month but cost more overall.
- Putting down a larger deposit reduces both the amount financed and the total interest paid.
🔢 Exemple concret
£30,000 asset price, £3,000 deposit, 8% annual rate over 36 months, no balloon: roughly £846/month, with total interest of around £4,470 over the term.

How does a balloon payment change the monthly cost?+
It reduces the amount amortised monthly, because only the non-balloon portion of the loan is repaid in instalments — the balloon itself is settled separately at the end (paid, refinanced, or the asset returned, depending on the agreement type).
Is the effective cost rate the same as the APR?+
Not exactly — the effective cost rate here is total interest divided by asset price, a simple comparison metric. The APR quoted by lenders follows FCA-mandated disclosure rules and can differ slightly depending on fees included.
