Monthly rate = annual discount rate ÷ 12. Liability payment count = lease term months − payments made at commencement. Lease liability = payment × (1 − (1 + monthly rate)^−n) ÷ monthly rate, or payment × n if the rate is 0. ROU asset basis = liability + commencement payments + initial direct costs − incentives.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Best for lease schedule prep, accountant discussions and first-pass liability checks before a formal lease accounting workbook.

This is a planning calculator, not accounting advice under IFRS 16, ASC 842 or local GAAP.
Only fixed monthly lease payments are modelled; variable lease payments, residual guarantees and purchase options are not included.
Payments made at commencement are excluded from the liability PV but included in the right-of-use asset basis.
The discount rate is treated as a nominal annual rate converted to monthly periods.
Tax, disclosure, remeasurement, impairment, foreign exchange and classification rules are outside the calculator.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep the liability schedule, asset basis and commencement-payment treatment on separate lines. That is where lease spreadsheets often drift.

127,460.47 liability59 unpaid payment(s) discounted at 0.5%/month · ROU asset basis 130,960.47 · first interest 637.30 · first principal reduction 1,862.70

Inputs

Lease payment: 2,500 $/month
Discount rate: 6 %/year
Lease term: 60 months
Payments made at commencement: 1 payments
Initial direct costs: 1,000 $
Lease incentives received: 0 $

Method

For $2,500 monthly payments over 60 months at a 6% annual discount rate with one payment made at commencement, the unpaid-payment count is 59. Monthly rate is 0.5%, so the liability is about the present value of 59 remaining payments.

Only fixed monthly lease payments are modelled; variable lease payments, residual guarantees and purchase options are not included.
