How to read these numbers
- Due at signing on a lease is everything you pay on signing day: the first payment, the down payment, tax, the acquisition fee, the doc fee and registration.
- Money factor is the lease interest rate set by the bank. Multiply it by 2400 to get an approximate APR.
- Residual value is what the bank says the car is worth at lease end. A higher residual means a lower payment.
- In California, lease sales tax is charged on each monthly payment and once at signing on the down payment (capitalized cost reduction), the acquisition fee and the doc fee, at the rate of the place where the car is registered. Registration (DMV) is not taxed, and tax is not charged on the full price of the car.
- Hunter Lease is California’s platform for pre-negotiated new-car deals. You sign directly with the authorized dealer and the lender.

Hunter Lease estimate from our deal experience, not a precise calculation. This is not a pre-approval. The bank makes the decision.
The estimates are for $3,000 down on a lease and $5,000 down on a loan.
Negative items: repossession, 60+ days late, bankruptcy, fraud. A co-signer never lowers the estimate: we show the better of the two, on your own credit or with the co-signer.
What moves the estimate in these rows: a co-signer (on a lease, high instead of moderate with credit tier 3 and 1 to 3 years of history, high instead of low with credit tier 5 and 6 months to 1 year of history, high instead of low with under 6 months of history), a first car loan or lease (moderate instead of high with credit tier 3) and the type of deal (on a loan the estimate is lower than on a lease, or the same).
The same Kia Carnival in the format dealers advertise
The same 2027 Kia Carnival LXS FWD lease (36 months, 10,000 miles a year, ZIP 90210, 10.25% sales tax, credit tier 1), calculated by Hunter Lease at several amounts due at signing: the payment before tax, the format dealers advertise, next to the payment with tax that you actually pay.
| Due at signing | Payment before tax, as dealers advertise it | Payment with tax, as you pay it |
|---|---|---|
| $3,000, the main scenario on this page | $494.90/mo before tax | $545.63/mo with tax, of which $50.73 is tax |
| $3,999 | $466.77/mo before tax | $514.61/mo with tax, of which $47.84 is tax |
| $4,999 | $438.60/mo before tax | $483.56/mo with tax, of which $44.96 is tax |
| $5,999 | $410.43/mo before tax | $452.50/mo with tax, of which $42.07 is tax |
Every amount due at signing in the table already includes the first payment, the tax collected upfront and the fees: the $650 acquisition fee, the $85 doc fee and the $689.62 DMV registration.
