Status Message
Error and information messages appear here. If there are no errors, the computed Payment or Price will appear here.

Mode?
When OFF (Find Payment Mode), the Payment is calculated using the entered Price.
When ON (Find Price Mode), the Price is calculated using the entered Payment.

Price/Payment
Used to enter the desired Price, or desired Payment (see Mode above). When in the Find Payment mode, this field is labeled 'Price', and when in the Find Price mode, it is labeled 'Payment'.

Term
Term of lease in months. You can tap on the + or - to change the term by 3 months, or you can enter the term directly.

Residual %
Residual value percentage. You can tap on the + or - to change the percentage by 1%, or you can enter the percentage directly. The percentage is applied to the sum of the MSRP and Hard Adds to calculate the residual amount. You can also enter the actual residual amount directly (must be over $100).

Factor/Rate
The money factor or interest rate for calculating the lease. Money factors are entered as a decimal (e.g., 0.000825). For Simple Interest leases, the interest rate is entered as a percentage (e.g., 3.49%). The money factor or interest rate are remembered for each of the lease types.

Other 1
Additional items to be capitalized that are subject to Sales Tax (documentation fee, options, etc.).

Other 2
Additional items to be capitalized that are not subject to Sales Tax (extended warranties, other insurance products, etc.).

Rebate
A manufacturer's rebate that is to be applied to the Drive-off Amount. A portion of or all of the Rebate can be applied as a Capitalized Cost Reduction - see Cash Down below.

Cash Down
A cash downpayment that is to be applied as a Capitalized Cost Reduction. If all or a portion of the Rebate is to be applied add that amount to any cash amount. For example, if a $2,000 Cap Reduction is made in cash plus a $1,000 Rebate that is also applied to the Cap Reduction, enter $3,000 in this field. You can tap on the + or - to change the value by $100.

MSRP
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, used to calculate the Residual Amount.

Hard Adds
Options and accessories added to the vehicle that can be residualized.

Disp Fee
The Disposition Fee due at the end of the lease if the car is returned to the Lessor.

Trade In
The amount allowed for a trade vehicle.

Payoff
The amount owed on a vehicle traded in.

Cap?
Turn ON a switch below to capitalize the item at the right (see Acq Fee, XX Tax Rate, Reg Fee below). If not capitalized the amount will appear in the Drive Off amount.

Acq Fee
Acquisition Fee on the lease. Turn the switch at the left ON to capitalize the fee.

XX Tax Rate
If you select a Sales Tax State to calculate the sales tax, enter the tax rate here. The 2-letter state abbreviation will show in place of the XX, e.g., for New York, NY Tax Rate will appear.

To capitalize the sales tax, turn the switch at the left ON. (In states that tax the payment, only the tax on the downpayment can be capitalized because the tax on the payment is paid monthly. In other states, all sales tax is capitalized.)

Reg Fee
Registration & License Fees and/or other non-taxable items. To capitalize these, turn the switch at the left ON.

Waive Advance Payment?
Turn this switch ON to waive the first payment, e.g., a 36-month lease would have no payment in advance and only 35 regular payments that start in one month (this switch has no effect on Simple Interest type leases).

Analyze Lease?
Turn this switch ON to have some additional calculations made which will appear at the end of the full disclosure:

    o The Effective Payment per month which spreads the Cap Cost Reduction and other Drive Off items over the lease,

    o The Net Proceeds of the lease after deducting fees,

    o Equivalent Interest Rates: a) if the vehicle is returned at the end of the lease, and b) if the vehicle is purchased at the end. (These calculations includes the impact of the acquisition fee, disposition fee, and whether the first payment was waived. The nominal interest rate is also shown.)
