Project the odometer at lease return and estimate the excess-mileage charge before you decide whether to return, buy out, or replace the vehicle.
Excess mileage estimate
Project the odometer at return, compare it with the contractual allowance, and estimate the excess-mileage charge.
Projected return mileage
37,600
Current mileage plus remaining months × monthly miles.
Excess miles
7,600
Miles above the contractual allowance.
Estimated mileage charge
$1,900.00
Excess miles × contractual per-mile rate.
Your estimated excess-mileage exposure is $1,900. A buyout or trade may deserve comparison before return.
Estimates are for educational comparison only. Payoff quotes, taxes, incentives, lender rules, and market values change. Final numbers come from the lessor, lender, and signed buyer’s order or contract.
How the estimate works
Projected return mileage equals current mileage plus remaining months times expected monthly miles. Excess miles above the contractual allowance are multiplied by the per-mile charge.
