Car Leasing Calculator

Is it better to lease or purchase a car? This calculator will help you decide. It helps if you already have a lease offer from a dealer which you can plug into this calculator. What you will get is a year-by-year comparison of the net cost of a lease or purchase. This will be shown both as a graph and in chart format.

Yearly Detail
  • Projections assume car loses 20% of value first year, 15% each year thereafter.
  • Savings Interest Earned is calculated on the difference between your loan (or cash) down pay and the cash due at signing for the lease. Since this is interest you WOULD have earned if you had not made the down payment (or cash purchase) this adds to the Loan Net Cost to Own.
