Compare the full cost of purchase financing

Compare the full repayment amount and conditions with paying upfront. Check what happens if a payment is late or the item is returned.

What to check

  • Record the amount financed, payment schedule and total repayment.
  • Read the interest terms, including when a promotional rate ends.
  • Check late fees and any deferred-interest condition.
  • Ask how a return changes the loan balance and scheduled payments.

Keep a promotional rate separate from the terms that apply if its conditions are missed. Use the lender’s disclosure to calculate scenarios; an AI summary cannot approve financing or assess affordability for you.
