Just what I was needed

I’ve been considering taking up a novated lease through work but wasn’t sure if it was worth it compared to normal loan. I punched everything in to TrueCost and it really spelled everything out in terms I could understand. Was really useful to see the take home pay difference for the two scenarios.
