LEASE OPTION: Leasing a Vehicle
LEASE BUYOUT INFORMATION: The buyout value (or residual value) of a vehicle is usually 60% on a 2-year lease, 53% on a 3-year lease, 45% on a 4-year lease, and 37% on a 5-year lease. For example, a $20,000 car has a buyout value of 0.45 x $20,000 = $9,000 after a 4-year lease.
To calculate the total cost of leasing a vehicle, follow these steps:
1. Determine the buyout value listed earlier.
2. Calculate the sales tax on the down payment.
3. Subtract the buyout value and the down payment from the list price to find the amount the lease is for.
4. Use the Present Value Formula to calculate the monthly payment.
5. Calculate the sales tax on the monthly payment.
6. Add the total amount paid for the lease and the buyout to find the overall cost.
