This tool helps you calculate the monthly lease payment for a Mazda vehicle.
How to Use the Mazda Lease Calculator
To use the Mazda Lease Calculator, fill in the values for the MSRP, Down Payment, Trade-In Value (if any), Sales Tax Rate, Lease Term, and Money Factor. Then click the Calculate button to get the estimated monthly lease payment.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator takes into account the following factors:
- MSRP: The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of the vehicle.
- Down Payment: The amount of money paid upfront to reduce the lease amount.
- Trade-In Value: The value of any trade-in vehicle, which also helps to reduce the lease amount.
- Sales Tax Rate: The rate at which the sale is taxed.
- Lease Term: The number of months over which the lease is spread.
- Money Factor: A figure representing the interest rate on the lease.
The result is calculated as follows:
- Subtract the down payment and trade-in value from the MSRP to get the lease amount.
- Divide the lease amount by the lease term to get the monthly depreciation.
- Calculate the interest using the formula: (MSRP + Lease Amount) * Money Factor.
- Add the monthly depreciation and interest to get the monthly payment before tax.
- Calculate the monthly sales tax and add it to the monthly payment before tax to get the final monthly payment.
Limitations
This calculator does not take into account other fees such as registration, title fees, or dealer fees. It provides an estimate and the actual lease payment may vary depending on additional factors and specific lease agreements.
