Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan formula to calculate your monthly lease payment:

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Principal (Purchase Price - Down Payment)
r = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate / 12)
n = Number of Payments (Lease Term in Months)

This formula accounts for the principal amount, interest rate, and lease term to provide an accurate monthly payment estimate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a lease for a €30,000 car with a 48-month term, €5,000 down payment, and 3% annual interest rate.

Principal = €30,000 - €5,000 = €25,000
Monthly Interest Rate = 3% / 12 = 0.25%
Number of Payments = 48
Monthly Payment = €25,000 × (0.0025(1 + 0.0025)^48) / ((1 + 0.0025)^48 - 1) ≈ €552.30

Total amount paid over 48 months: €552.30 × 48 ≈ €26,500.80

Interest portion: €26,500.80 - €25,000 = €1,500.80

Lease vs. Purchase Comparison

Here's a comparison of leasing versus purchasing a vehicle:

Factor	Lease	Purchase
Upfront Cost	Lower (down payment)	Higher (full purchase price)
Monthly Cost	Fixed payment	No monthly payment
Ownership	No ownership at end	Full ownership
Mileage Limits	Yes (typically 12,000-15,000 km/year)	No limits
Maintenance Responsibility	Leasing company	You

Leasing is often a better option for those who want to drive a new car every few years without the long-term commitment of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a lease and a hire purchase?

Can I get insurance through the leasing company?

Yes, most leasing companies in the Netherlands offer comprehensive insurance packages as part of the lease agreement.

What happens if I exceed the mileage limit?

Exceeding the mileage limit typically results in additional fees. Some leases allow for a small amount of extra mileage without penalty.
