Frequently asked questions
- How is a car lease payment calculated?
- A lease payment has two parts: a depreciation fee ((cap cost − residual) ÷ term) and a finance charge ((cap cost + residual) × money factor). Add them together for the base monthly payment before taxes and fees.
- What is a money factor?
- The money factor is the lease equivalent of an interest rate. Multiply it by 2,400 to get an approximate APR. For example, 0.00125 × 2,400 = 3.0% APR.
