Lease

Money factor

The money factor is the lease equivalent of an interest rate. It is a small decimal (like 0.00125). To compare it to an APR, multiply by 2400 (e.g., 0.00125 × 2400 = 3.0% APR). Always ask for the base money factor for your approved credit tier in writing. Details may vary by lessor and credit tier.
