01 / YOUR LEASE OFFER

Estimate your vehicle lease payment

Use the same currency unit for all amounts. Residual percentage is based on MSRP—not the negotiated price.

Example: MSRP 40000, selling price 38000, 36 months, residual 60%, factor 0.0025 and down payment 2000 gives a base payment of about 483.33. Blank reductions and fees mean zero.

Advanced: credits, fees, tax & mileage

Enter each fee only once. Rolled-in fees increase capitalized cost; upfront fees do not. Trade-in credit means positive equity after any payoff; negative equity is not modeled.

Upfront taxes are paid at signing, not financed. These models exclude tax on fees, cap-cost reductions and mileage charges. Price-based tax is before trade-in/rebate deductions; your jurisdiction may differ.

02 / PAYMENT ESTIMATE

Estimated monthly lease payment

Enter your vehicle offer and calculate a lease estimate.

03 / LEASE ASSUMPTIONS

Depreciation plus rent—not a loan payment

Adjusted cap cost = selling price + rolled-in fees − down payment − net trade-in credit − rebates. Depreciation per month = (adjusted cap cost − residual) ÷ months. Rent per month = (adjusted cap cost + residual) × money factor.

Residual, base payment, taxes and mileage charges are rounded half-up to cents. Displayed depreciation and rent are independently rounded and can differ by a cent from their displayed sum. Down payment excludes first payment and fees. Upfront costs include the first installment; total cost does not count it twice.

The vehicle is returned at lease end. Totals exclude an optional buyout, refundable deposits, wear/disposition charges and existing-debt payoff. Rebates are not customer cash; trade-in equity is value you commit even though it is not a cash payment.

Tax treatment, fee rules and lease practices vary by jurisdiction and dealership. This simplified estimate does not reproduce every contract or constitute an official APR disclosure. Software limits: amounts up to 1 billion each, 1–120 months, residual 0–100% of MSRP, money factor 0–1, and nonnegative depreciation.

Your lease inputs are calculated privately in the browser without uploads or storage.

Frequently asked questions

How is the monthly lease payment calculated?

Adjusted capitalized cost is negotiated price plus rolled-in fees minus down payment, net trade-in credit and rebates. Monthly depreciation is adjusted cap cost minus residual, divided by months. Monthly rent is adjusted cap cost plus residual, multiplied by money factor. Base payment is depreciation plus rent.

Is the residual percentage based on MSRP?

Yes. Residual percentage applies to MSRP, not negotiated price. You can instead enter a residual amount. This model requires residual between zero and MSRP and no greater than adjusted cap cost, so depreciation is nonnegative.

How does money factor relate to APR?

The conventional approximate percentage conversion is money factor × 2400; approximate APR ÷ 2400 gives a money factor. This is not a cash-flow APR calculation or a legally compliant APR disclosure.

How are fees and signing costs treated?

Upfront acquisition and other fees are paid at signing. Rolled-in fees increase cap cost and are recovered through payments; do not enter the same fee in both places. Down payment excludes fees and the first payment. The estimate includes the first of the stated monthly installments at signing and does not count it twice.

Which tax treatments and mileage assumptions are supported?

Choose tax on each rounded base monthly payment, upfront tax on the sum of base payments, or upfront tax on negotiated selling price before credits. Taxes exclude fees, reductions and excess mileage in this simplified model. Mileage is prorated from annual allowance and expected driving; estimated excess charges are paid at return.

What is included in total lease cost?

Cash outlay includes down payment, upfront fees, modeled taxes, all monthly payments and optional estimated excess mileage. A separate total adds net trade-in value committed. Rebates are not customer cash. Vehicle purchase, refundable deposits, wear/disposition charges, payoff of existing debt and contract-specific tax rules are excluded. Actual dealership and jurisdiction rules vary.
