Formula:
The monthly lease payment is typically calculated using a formula that accounts for depreciation and financing charges. A common approximation is:
Monthly Payment ≈ ((C - R) / T) + ((C + R) × M)
- C = Capitalized Cost (the agreed-upon value of the asset)
- R = Residual Value (the estimated value of the asset at lease end)
- T = Lease Term (in months)
- M = Money Factor (a representation of the interest rate)
Additional costs like sales tax, upfront fees, and down payments are then factored in.
