Lease vs Buy Calculator compares the cost of leasing a car against buying one, weighing monthly payments, ownership, and long-term cost to inform one of the bigger financial decisions in car ownership.
The trade-off is fundamental: leasing offers lower monthly payments and a newer car more often, but builds no equity — at lease-end you own nothing and the payments continue indefinitely. Buying costs more monthly and upfront, but you eventually own an asset and can drive payment-free for years, which is where its long-term savings come from.
For an honest comparison, the 'buy' side must include the car's resale value at the end — it's still worth something — otherwise the maths unfairly favours leasing. Likewise, account for lease-end fees, mileage limits, and wear charges on the lease side. Over a long ownership horizon, buying and keeping typically comes out cheaper.
Which wins depends on you: lease if you value driving a new car every few years with predictable costs; buy if minimising lifetime cost matters most. It's informational, not financial advice, and runs in your browser. Pair it with the Car Loan EMI and Car Depreciation calculators for the full ownership picture.
Buying usually wins long-term — the savings come after the loan ends and you drive payment-free
