Calculate Automobile Lease Residual Values

Leased cars can admit altitudinous or low residual values.


Ask your dealership what the residual lease factor is for the car that you are considering leasing. If they don't know, ask to talk to their lease financier. For example, you might find out that the residual value factor for the car you are considering is 45 percent ultimate of the lease.2.



The residual cost of a machine, when a rent is up, depends upon a residual value factor intent by the school that finances the lease, which is often not the car dealership. The institution decides on a residual value factor based on its business model, which dictates the percentage of profit that the company tries to bring in on individual payments versus a buyout remain of the lease. Residual value factors are expressed as percentages of the car manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP).

Instructions

1.


Stare at the car's window sticker to find out its MSRP. For example, the car you are considering might have an MSRP of $27,000.


3. Multiply the MSRP by the residual value factor to determine how much the car will be worth last of the lease period. In our example, the car would have a residual value of $27,000 x 0.45 = $12,150.
