The Lease Calculator can be used to calculate the monthly payment or the effective interest rate on a lease. If the interest rate is known, use the "Fixed Rate" tab to calculate the monthly payment. If the monthly payment is known, use the "Fixed Pay" tab to calculate the effective interest rate. Or use the Auto Lease Calculator regarding auto lease for U.S. residents.
• Use Fixed Rate to solve for monthly payment from asset value, residual value, term, and interest rate.
• Use Fixed Pay to reverse-solve for the implied annual interest rate (IRR) from a known monthly payment.

A lease is a contractual agreement where the asset owner (the lessor) grants temporary operational use of equipment, vehicles, or property to another party (the lessee) in exchange for structured periodic payments over a defined term.
Rather than paying for the entire asset, lease payments primarily cover the asset's depreciation portion ($V - R$) over the lease term, plus finance interest and service fees.
At lease expiration, lessees typically have the contractual option to purchase the asset outright for its predetermined residual value ($R$), return the asset, or roll into a new lease.
For commercial businesses, operating lease installments are often 100% tax-deductible as business operating expenses, preserving liquidity without tying up capital in heavy fixed assets.
