How to calculate
Subtract residual value from adjusted capitalized cost. Divide that depreciation by lease months. Multiply capitalized cost plus residual by the money factor. Add entered monthly fees and tax, then total scheduled outlay.
Base payment=(cap−residual)/months+(cap+residual)×money factor+fee
Worked example
A cost of 30000, residual 18000, 36 months and factor 0.002 give a base monthly payment of 429.333333.
Assumptions and input details
This entered-contract model assumes the money-factor method. Tax treatment is explicitly selected by your percentage, not jurisdiction. Do not enter capitalized costs again as upfront cash. Deposits and end charges are excluded.
