How it works

Formula & explanation

Lease Calculator uses the following calculation:

Payment = (CapCost−Residual)/Term + (CapCost+Residual)×MoneyFactor

This is a simplified model intended for planning and education. Real-world offers from lenders, institutions, or tax authorities may include additional fees, rules, or adjustments not reflected here.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is capitalized cost?

It's the negotiated price of the leased asset, similar to the purchase price in a loan.

Can I negotiate lease terms?

What happens at the end of a lease?

You typically return the asset, purchase it at the residual value, or roll into a new lease, depending on the contract.
