What does this calculator do?
Use this leasing calculator to estimate monthly lease payment, total cost over the term, cost per kilometre and lease factor. This is especially useful when comparing several lease offers or quickly evaluating a car leasing deal.
Formula
Financed amount = vehicle price − upfront payment − residual value\nMonthly base payment = financed amount ÷ term\nMonthly interest cost = average outstanding amount × monthly interest rate\nMonthly lease payment = base payment + interest cost\nLease factor = monthly lease payment ÷ vehicle price × 100\nCost per kilometre = total cost ÷ total kilometres
Example
Example: With a vehicle price of €45,000, an upfront payment of €3,000, a residual value of €22,000, a term of 36 months, 15,000 km per year and an assumed interest rate of 4.9%, the calculator estimates the monthly lease payment. It also shows total cost and lease factor so you can compare offers more easily.
When is a leasing calculator useful?
A leasing calculator is ideal when you want to compare several vehicle offers quickly. It is especially useful when a low monthly payment looks attractive at first glance, but upfront payment, term and residual value may make the deal less attractive overall.
What does the lease factor tell you?
The lease factor puts the monthly lease payment in relation to the vehicle price. This makes offers easier to compare. The lower the lease factor, the more attractive the offer often appears at first glance. Still, you should always consider upfront payment, term and side costs as well.
Why are residual value and upfront payment important?
A high residual value or a large upfront payment often reduces the monthly payment. That can make an offer look cheaper even if total cost is not necessarily low. That is why this calculator shows total cost and cost per kilometre in addition to the monthly payment.
Why are cost-per-kilometre figures useful?
Cost per kilometre helps you compare leasing with buying, financing or other mobility costs more realistically. This is especially helpful for commuters, high-mileage drivers or fleet comparisons.

How to use the result correctly

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a lease payment?
In simplified form, the financed amount derived from vehicle price, upfront payment and residual value is spread across the term. Assumed interest cost can then be added. That is exactly what this calculator does.
What is a good lease factor?
A lower lease factor is often considered more attractive. However, it is only a comparison value and does not replace reviewing total cost, upfront payment and contract terms.
Does the calculator include all side costs?
No. Insurance, maintenance, registration, delivery, excess mileage, fees or service packages are not included here.
Can I compare different offers with it?
Yes. That is one of its main purposes. Enter several offers one after another and compare payment, total cost and lease factor.
Is the result binding?
No. The calculator only provides a general estimate and does not replace a real lease offer or individual advice.
Can I use it for business leasing too?
As a rough orientation, yes. For binding evaluation in a business context, always review the actual contract and tax details.
