1. What is the Toyota Lease Payment Formula?

The Toyota lease payment formula calculates your monthly payment by combining the depreciation charge and finance charge. It's the standard method used by Toyota Financial Services to determine lease payments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Toyota lease formula:

\[ Payment = \frac{(Cap - Residual)}{Term} + (Cap + Residual) \times Money\ Factor \]

Where:

\( Cap \) — Capitalized cost (vehicle price plus fees minus down payment)
\( Residual \) — Predicted vehicle value at lease end
\( Term \) — Lease duration in months
\( Money\ Factor \) — Lease interest rate (decimal)

Explanation: The first part calculates monthly depreciation, while the second part calculates the finance charge. Together they make up your monthly payment.

3. Understanding Lease Components

Details:

Capitalized Cost: The negotiated price of the vehicle plus any additional fees or charges
Residual Value: The estimated value of the car at the end of the lease (percentage of MSRP)
Money Factor: The lease equivalent of an interest rate (divide by 2400 to get approximate APR)

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

Enter all amounts in USD without commas
Money factor is typically provided by the dealer (e.g., 0.00125)
Standard lease terms are 24, 36, or 48 months
Residual values are usually 50-60% of MSRP for 36-month leases

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How is money factor different from interest rate?
A: Money factor is the lease version of an interest rate. Multiply by 2400 to get approximate APR (0.00125 MF ≈ 3% APR).

Q2: What's a good money factor?
A: Rates vary, but 0.00100 to 0.00150 are common for prime borrowers. Lower is better.

Q3: Can I negotiate the capitalized cost?
A: Yes! This is the vehicle price and is negotiable just like when purchasing.

Q4: How is residual value determined?
A: Set by the leasing company based on projected depreciation. Higher residuals mean lower payments.

Q5: Are there other fees not included here?
A: Yes, this calculates base payment only. Taxes, acquisition fees, and other charges may apply.
