Enter data
All entered monetary amounts must use the same net or gross basis. Fields marked with an asterisk are required.
How to use the calculator
- Price and both fees must follow the selected net/gross basis. Initial-payment and buyout percentages refer to the asset price.
- Enter the nominal rate, not APR. The upfront fee is not financed; the monthly fee is added to each instalment.
Calculation details
Formula and calculation method
Net instalment = annuity on (net price − initial payment − discounted buyout), monthly rate = annual/12. Net amounts and VAT on each payment are rounded to cents and summed.
Worked example
PLN 12,000 net price, 10% initial payment, 10% buyout, 12 payments, zero interest and no fees: PLN 800 net instalment; at 23% VAT, PLN 984 gross and PLN 14,760 total outlay.
Limitations
- Fixed rate, month-end payments, identical VAT treatment for all payments. Excludes mixed fee rates, VAT paid entirely upfront, insurance and foreign-currency accounting.
- Does not calculate VAT deductibility, PIT/CIT deductions, 2026 vehicle caps or legal lease classification. The lessor’s schedule and final payment may differ due to rounding.
