Step 1: Vehicle & Lease Details
Understanding Lease Terms
Longer lease terms typically mean lower monthly payments but higher total cost. Shorter terms often have higher monthly payments but less total interest paid.

About Residual Value
The residual value is the estimated value of the vehicle at lease end. Higher residual values generally mean lower monthly payments, as you’re paying for less depreciation.

Leasing typically offers lower monthly payments and the ability to drive a new vehicle every few years. Buying builds equity and has no mileage restrictions but requires higher monthly payments initially.

Lease Payment Formula
Monthly Payment = Depreciation + Finance Charge + Taxes
Depreciation = (Vehicle Price – Residual Value – Down Payment) ÷ Lease Term
Finance Charge = (Vehicle Price + Residual Value) × Money Factor
Taxes = (Depreciation + Finance Charge) × Tax Rate
