How to check your lease kilometre pace
Enter the current odometer, the total kilometre allowance for the entire contract, the full term, and the number of months remaining. The calculator uses the elapsed term to project the current pace.
Kilometres available per month is the remaining allowance divided by months remaining. If the odometer is already above the allowance, that figure is shown as zero rather than suggesting negative driving.
What the exposure estimate leaves out
The estimate multiplies projected kilometres above the allowance by the charge you enter. Your contract may handle included kilometres, purchased kilometre packages, taxes, waivers, rounding, or vehicle return differently.
- Future driving may be higher or lower than the historical average.
- A non-zero starting odometer must be subtracted from current usage.
- Buying the vehicle may change whether an end-of-lease kilometre charge applies.
Worked example
A driver 30 months into a 48-month lease
The odometer is 42,000 km, the total allowance is 80,000 km, and 18 months remain. The historical pace is 1,400 km per month.
That pace projects about 67,200 km at lease end—12,800 km below the allowance. The driver has 38,000 km left, or about 2,111 km available per remaining month.Frequently asked questions
Should I enter my annual or total kilometre allowance?
Enter the total allowance for the whole lease. If your contract only states an annual figure, confirm how the lessor calculates the total before using it.
What if the car had kilometres when the lease started?
Subtract the starting odometer from the current odometer and enter the kilometres driven during your lease.
Does buying out the lease avoid kilometre charges?
That depends on your contract and completed transaction. Confirm with the lessor rather than assuming the charge disappears.
