a one-off payment vs an one-off payment

The correct phrase is 'a one-off payment.' The use of 'a' is correct because the word 'one-off' begins with a consonant sound, even though the first letter is a vowel. 'An one-off payment' is incorrect due to the incorrect use of the article 'an' before a word starting with a consonant sound.
