Vehicle lease calculator
Estimate the payment, drive-off amount, mileage exposure, return cost, and end-of-lease buyout using the figures from a dealer quote.
The money factor is the lease's financing rate. Multiplying it by 2,400 gives an approximate APR equivalent.
A capitalized cost reduction lowers the payment but may not be recoverable if the vehicle is stolen or totaled.
Monthly payment breakdown
Estimated cost if returned
The refundable security deposit is included in due-at-signing but excluded from total lease cost. Wear, damage, early termination, and dealer-specific charges are not estimated.
Estimated end-of-lease buyout
Residual value plus the purchase-option fee and an estimated sales tax on the buyout.
Lease estimates are for planning only. Confirm the lender's residual, money factor, mileage rules, tax method, fees, and payoff quote before signing or buying the vehicle.
