What is Money Factor?

Money factor refers to the cost of financing a lease or loan for a vehicle. It is essentially the interest rate applied to the amount being financed. Money factor is important because it directly affects the monthly payment and overall cost of borrowing money for a vehicle.

It is a crucial factor to consider when negotiating lease or loan terms, as a lower money factor can save a significant amount of money in the long run.
