I'm under the impression that deposit money lowers monthly payment by $$$/lease term so $5000 drops a 36 mo lease by $138.89 per month. Perhaps I'm wrong and you have to also subtract whatever interest charge is part of that $138.89 you are lowering your payment. That would generally be rather insignificant on a monthly basis so I guess I haven't bothered to count that in the past. Leases truly are designed to confuse.
