This calculator estimates monthly lease payment when the interest rate is known, or estimates the effective interest rate when the monthly payment is known. It uses asset value, residual value, lease term, rate, and payment assumptions.

Fixed rate mode
Enter the rate to calculate the payment needed to cover the use of the asset and finance charge.
Fixed payment mode
Enter a known monthly payment to estimate the implied annual interest rate.
How to use this calculator
Choose fixed rate or fixed payment mode, enter asset value, residual value, and term, then review monthly payment, total payments, finance charge, and the visual schedule.
