How to Use This Analyzer

This tool helps you compare the total costs of buying versus leasing a car over a specific period. For a fair comparison, try to match the "Loan Term" for buying with the "Lease Term".

• Buying Section: Enter the car's full price, your down payment, loan details, and sales tax. Crucially, estimate the car's resale value at the end of the loan term.
• Leasing Section: Enter the details from your lease offer, including the term, down payment, monthly payment (before tax), and any upfront fees.
• Click "Analyze" to see a breakdown of the total and monthly costs, and a final verdict on which option is financially better for the period.
