Free tools for running vans
Two calculators that answer the questions van operators actually ask before they commit: what payload is genuinely left once the van is converted, crewed and fuelled, and what a VAT-registered business really pays once the VAT comes back.
Both are free, instant and complete. There is no form in front of the answer — the enquiry route sits underneath it, for the businesses that want one.

Van payload calculator
Manufacturer payload is quoted before racking, a crew seat or a full tank. Put your real kit in and see what is actually left for the load.
Payload is gross vehicle weight minus kerbweight — then minus everything you bolt on and carry.

Van lease VAT calculator
Ex-VAT, VAT, inc-VAT and the effective net cost after recovery — with the 50% car block applied automatically when it bites.
A VAT-registered business normally recovers 100% of the VAT on a van lease; most car leases suffer a 50% block.

Why these are free
Because the answers are checkable, and a business that can check them makes a better decision about its vehicles. Every regulatory and tax figure the tools use is cited on the page to a named source and a year, so you can verify it rather than take our word for it. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and there is no sign-up in front of a result.
If the answer sends you looking for a different vehicle, that is the conversation we want to have. FleetMe supplies the vehicle and the agreement is with us — business contract hire over 24 to 60 months for limited companies and LLPs, or short-term rental of up to 89 days for individuals and sole traders.
