The sample compares a $35,000 purchase at 6% APR with a $450 monthly lease over 36 months. Buying requires $5,000 upfront; leasing $2,500. The lower monthly payment is not automatically the lower total cost.
Illustrative USD inputs, not an offer or a forecast. The example uses the same calculation code as the tool above.
Buying includes cash paid, remaining loan and resale value. Leasing includes signing costs, payments, running costs and known return charges, less the refunded deposit.
Use actual offers where possible and change uncertain inputs. Resale is a range, not a promise. This compares the first lease term only. The assumptions panel explains exclusions.
