Residual Value
Estimated value of asset at end of lease or useful life
What You Need to Know
Residual value is the predicted value of an asset at the end of its lease term or useful life. In vehicle leasing, it determines the buyout price. Higher residual values typically result in lower monthly lease payments since the lessee is only paying for the depreciation.
