🏠 Should I lease or buy my next car?

Finn

This calculator offers a clear, practical way to settle the classic lease-versus-buy debate by comparing both options over a realistic 9-year timeline. It does a nice job of factoring in the long-term costs of ownership, like maintenance and the car's eventual resale value, to give you a bottom-line verdict. Just keep in mind that it assumes your lease payments will stay exactly the same across all three lease cycles, which might be a bit optimistic given inflation. You'll also want to remember that even leased cars need routine upkeep like oil changes and tires, so your actual leasing costs could run a little higher than the estimate.
