Lease Payment Calculation Formula:
(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Base Rate = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment

Terms Used in Lease Formula:
CAP COST = Vehicle Purchase Price (amount financed)
RESIDUAL VALUE = MSRP (window sticker) X Residual %
TERM = Length of Lease in Months (3 years = 36 months)
BASE RATE = Dealer’s Buy Rate (dealer can mark this up for profit)

NOTE: The manufacturer (captive) lease programs provided are for reference only. Base Rates may vary by region. Your dealer has the option of offering you a higher rate.

No, I just notice his threads and no one ever thanks him. We should be so lucky to have this info short of going to the dealer blind.

I learned my lesson from leasing, the next car I'll ever lease will be < $300/mo.
/end rant.

Thank you for posting this info, LeaseCompare!! This should definitely be a sticky!!

Does anyone know how these calculations work for ED? Do you get to recognize the U.S. MSRP for calculating residual value? Also, are the rates and residual percentages any different?

Thanks!!

What changed since November? The residual percentage or the money factor?

The money factor is actually slightly better, but the residual is way down. (mine was 73%, it's down to 69% IIRC for 24 mos 10K miles)
