Shopping for a new car should be exciting—not confusing. Yet one of the biggest frustrations for buyers and lessees is figuring out the real monthly payment and the true out-the-door price. Most online calculators only provide rough estimates, leaving out critical details like dealer fees, taxes, and rebates.

The AutoCompanion Car Lease & Finance Calculator was built to solve that problem. It’s a dealer-grade tool for consumers that delivers penny-perfect lease payments, loan payments, and cash out-the-door totals. With this calculator, you’ll always know the exact numbers before you walk into the dealership.

Why Out-the-Door Pricing Matters

When you ask a dealer for the price of a car, the number you really need is the out-the-door (OTD) price. That’s the total cost, including:

• MSRP and dealer discount

• Sales tax (based on your zip code)

• Dealer documentation and processing fees

• Government and DMV fees (title, registration, license)

• Manufacturer rebates and incentives

• First payment or upfront cash (depending on lease or loan)

Without these, you’re only seeing part of the picture. The AutoCompanion Calculator ensures you always get the full out-the-door amount—whether you’re leasing, financing, or paying cash.

Every payment breakdown includes:

• MSRP (Sticker Price)
