The formula

How this calculation works

Lease payments consist of depreciation plus a finance charge based on the money factor.

Auto Lease Calculator

Lease payment = Depreciation charge + Finance charge; Depreciation = (Price−Residual)÷Term

Depreciation=(30000−15000)/36=$417; Finance=(30000+15000)×0.002=$90; Total=$507
