Q: What is the money factor?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 1

The Money Factor
How does that factor in?! The money factor on a new car lease is the percentage used by lenders to calculate the rental fee portion of your monthly payment. It is not the same as your lease rate. A lease payment includes a variety of components, including:
• Depreciation • A rental fee (and possibly other fees) • Taxes
You can convert the money factor, which is normally expressed as a decimal (for example, 0.00249) to APR by multiplying by 2400. A good rule of thumb is that the money factor, when converted to APR, should be lower than or equal to new-car loan rates.
