Estimates only. Your actual APR depends on your credit profile and the lender.

In short

To calculate car finance payments, take the car price minus your deposit, then spread it over the term at the APR. PCP defers a balloon payment to the end, which lowers the monthly cost. HP spreads the whole amount, so you own the car outright at the end.

Is PCP or HP cheaper?
