Looks padded
Two of the four look fine. The quote budgeted fuel low and insurance high, worth a word with the provider. Everything except insurance is built from real vehicle data, so you can see exactly where each figure comes from.

What you get

More than a rate. The whole picture.

Most tools stop at the interest rate. We check the running costs with real data, and show you whether leasing is even the right call in the first place.

How it works

Three steps and you’ll know.

1

Upload your quote

The PDF, or a few screenshots from your phone. Any provider at all.

2

We do the maths

We read the financed amount, residual and payments, and work out the real reducing-balance rate.

See where you stand

Your real rate, a plain verdict, the running costs checked line by line, and what to ask next.

How we work it out

The rate on your quote usually isn’t the rate you’re paying.

Most quotes show a low headline rate, then fold the fees and commission inside it. We take the financed amount, the residual and the payments straight off your quote, and work out the true reducing-balance rate, the same published method for every provider. It’s all laid out in our methodology.

Illustrative example. Across the providers we’ve measured, effective rates run from about 7% to 22%.
