How to use this calculator
Value a lease as a payment stream plus an end-of-term residual. Enter amounts in the units shown, select the applicable options, and click Calculate. Use Reset to restore the starting values.
Calculation formula
Asset value = payment × annuity present-value factor + residual/(1+i)^N.
Assumptions and accuracy
Review timing, rates, fees and result notes when comparing scenarios. Future returns and rates are assumptions rather than guaranteed outcomes. Monetary display follows the currency’s precision; intermediate calculations retain additional digits.

Lease payment calculator with residual value
Estimate payments from asset value, residual value, interest and lease duration, or solve an implied rate. Match each entered cash flow to its payment period.
Open this calculationUnderstanding this calculation
Estimate a lease installment with a residual value or solve for an implied financing rate. The model balances the present value of installments and the residual against asset value.
Worked examples
Lease payments with no residual or interest
Illustrative inputs are specified in the steps below; the example link loads the complete settings. Unmentioned settings use the linked defaults.
- With a zero residual and a zero financing rate, 12,000 / 12 = 1,000 per monthly payment. Positive residual values change this relationship.
Monthly payment: 1,000 USD.

How does residual value affect a lease calculation?
A portion of asset value is left as a terminal amount, so installments do not necessarily repay the full initial price.
Is this identical to the auto lease calculator?
No. The financial present-value lease model and the auto lease money-factor convention use different modeling approaches.
Scope and assumptions
This is a simplified financial lease relationship, not a complete contract valuation. Upfront charges, tax and end-of-term options must be checked separately.
