Introduction
Leasing has become a preferred option for businesses and individuals looking to acquire assets without significant upfront costs. The Lease Calculator by Raptas Financial Solutions helps you determine the monthly lease payments accurately for vehicles, property, equipment, or machinery.

What is a Lease Calculator?
A Lease Calculator is an online tool designed to calculate the regular payments (lease amount) required for leasing an asset. It takes into account the asset value, lease term, interest rate, and residual value to provide you with an accurate monthly lease payment.
This is particularly useful for businesses and individuals who wish to manage cash flow efficiently and avoid large upfront capital investments.
Lease Calculation Formula
The formula to calculate lease payments is:
Lease Payment=n(C−R)+2(C+R)×rWhere:
- C = Cost of the Asset (Principal)
- R = Residual Value at the end of the Lease Term
- n = Number of Months in Lease Term
- r = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate ÷ 12)
This formula combines depreciation (the drop in asset value) and interest to provide the total monthly lease amount.
How to Use the Lease Calculator?
- Enter the asset cost (e.g., ₹10,00,000).
- Input the residual value of the asset at lease end (e.g., ₹2,00,000).
- Enter the lease term in months (e.g., 36 months).
- Add the annual interest rate (e.g., 8%).
- Click Calculate to view the monthly lease payment.

Example Calculation
Suppose a business in Pune wants to lease a vehicle worth ₹10,00,000 for 3 years (36 months) with a residual value of ₹2,00,000 and an annual interest rate of 8%.
