Nissan Leaf lease calculator
This Nissan Leaf lease calculator starts from the median MSRP ($35,775) of 3 live Leaf listings. Live Leaf listings on this page run $321–$649/mo; advertised deals usually include dealer discounts, lease cash and money due at signing that this estimate doesn't assume.
Selling price starts at that MSRP. Enter the price you were quoted. The 36-month term, residual, and money factor are generic placeholders, not Nissan program rates. The same calculator has its own page: car lease calculator.

Term
Miles per year
Mileage changes the payment only by changing the residual. Enter the residual for this allowance. The calculator does not guess one.
Percent of MSRP, like 58. Not the dollar residual.
Multiply by 2,400 for a rough APR. Ask for the buy rate before any markup.
Cash that lowers the price
Cash you pay at signing. You don't get it back if the car is totaled.
Positive if the trade is worth more than you owe. Negative if you roll debt in.
Lease cash. It lowers the price the payment is based on.
Fees
Sample starts at $695. Use the amount on your worksheet.
Title, registration, and similar charges.
Tax
Leave blank if you only want the pre-tax payment. Enter 8.25 for 8.25%.
States do this differently. The state tax estimator is the place to check yours.
Deposits, one-pay, demo miles, lease end
Each deposit is one payment, rounded up to the next $50. You get them back at the end if the account is clean. They are not part of the cost.
From your program sheet. A figure you will see is 0.00007, and it is not universal.
Leave at 0 for a new car. Demo miles usually reduce the residual.
Residual cut per mile
Due if you return the car. Counted in total cost, not in the monthly.
Cash back after you sign. Lowers total cost, not the payment.
