The whole-term finance charge disclosed by the lessor. Used when the rent charge is stated as a total.
The lease rate as a decimal, e.g. 0.00125. Multiply by 2400 for the equivalent APR.

How this is worked out

5 steps
  1. Monthly depreciation = (30000 - 18000) / 36 = 333.33
  2. Monthly rent charge = 3600 / 36 = 100
  3. Base monthly payment = 333.33 + 100 = 433.33
  4. Estimated payment = base + entered tax and fees = 433.33 + 0 = 433.33
  5. Money factor = 100 / (30000 + 18000) = 0.002083, i.e. 5% APR
