This tool helps you calculate your payment plan with Katapult quickly and easily.
How to Use the Katapult Payment Calculator
1. Enter the Purchase Amount that you are planning to finance.
2. Enter the Lease Term in months. This is the duration for which you will be making payments.
3. Enter the Interest Rate applicable to your lease term. This should be entered as a percentage (e.g., for 10%, enter 10).
4. Click on the “Calculate” button to see the Total Cost of Lease.
How it Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the total cost of lease:
totalCost = (purchaseAmount * interestRate / leaseTerm * leaseTerm) + purchaseAmount
The formula calculates the monthly payment based on the entered purchase amount, interest rate, and lease term, then multiplies it by the lease term to get the total cost of lease, including the initial purchase amount.
Limitations
1. This calculator assumes a fixed interest rate over the entire lease term.
2. It does not take into account any additional fees, taxes, or charges that may apply.
3. Calculations are based on simple interest and may differ from actual lease agreements which may include compound interest and other factors.
