1. What is Semi Lease To Own?

Semi Lease To Own is a financial arrangement in Malaysia where you make monthly payments that include both depreciation and finance charges, with an option to own the asset at the end of the term by paying the residual value.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Semi Lease To Own formula:

\[ Dep = (CC - RV) / T \] \[ Fin = (CC + RV) \times MF \] \[ MP = Dep + Fin \]

Where:

\( Dep \) — Depreciation (RM/month)
\( Fin \) — Finance fee (RM/month)
\( MP \) — Monthly payment (RM)
\( CC \) — Capitalized cost (RM)
\( RV \) — Residual value (RM)
\( T \) — Term (months)
\( MF \) — Money factor (decimal)

Explanation: The formula calculates the monthly cost by separating the depreciation component (how much value the asset loses) from the finance component (cost of borrowing).

3. Importance of Calculation

Details: Understanding these calculations helps consumers compare different lease offers, budget effectively, and make informed financial decisions about vehicle or equipment financing in Malaysia.

4. Using the Calculator
