Vehicle lease estimate

Car Lease Calculator

Estimate a monthly car lease payment under explicit price, residual, money-factor, fee, and tax assumptions.

Enter assumptions and select Calculate.

Lease-payment method

Adjusted cap cost = negotiated price + capitalized fees − reduction − trade credit. Residual = MSRP × residual percentage. Monthly depreciation = (adjusted cap cost − residual) ÷ term. Finance charge = (adjusted cap cost + residual) × money factor.

Tax and quote boundaries

Entered tax is applied to the monthly base payment. Jurisdictions may tax monthly payments, vehicle value, lease amount, fees, or combinations differently. This is not a dealer quote, approval, rate lookup, or exact amount due at signing.

Worked example

For a 40,000 MSRP, 38,000 negotiated price, 36-month term, 60% residual, 0.002 money factor, 2,000 reduction, 695 acquisition fee, and 7% entered tax, each component is shown separately.

Calculation boundaries

Results use only your entered assumptions. No geolocation, financial-account, bank, property-tax, assessor, vehicle, dealer, lease-rate, or market API is contacted.
