How Do I Calculate a Lease Payment?

Before you start, you will need to identify six figures. These are:

  • MSRP
  • The money factor, or the interest rate you’re going to pay during your lease.
  • Lease Term
  • Residual Value
  • Rebates
  • Fees
Once you have these figures, follow the steps outlined below:

  1. MSRP X Residual Value Percentage = Residual Value
  2. Negotiated Selling Price of Car + Fees = Gross Capitalized Cost
  3. Gross Capitalized Cost – Down Payment & Rebates = Adjusted Capitalized Cost
  4. Adjusted Capitalized Cost – Residual Value = Depreciation Amount
  5. Depreciation Amount / Number of Months in Your Lease = Base Payment
  6. (Adjusted Capitalized Cost + Residual Value) x Money Factor = Monthly Charge
  7. Monthly Charge + Base Payment = Pretax Lease Payment
  8. Tax Rate x Pretax Lease Payment = Total Lease Payment
