How ASC 842 Lease Calculation Works
Where: r = periodic discount rate, n = period number
Classify the Lease
Apply the five ASC 842 classification tests. If any test is met, it is a finance lease. Otherwise, it is an operating lease.
Identify Payments & Rate
Include fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index, and amounts under residual value guarantees. Use the rate implicit in the lease or incremental borrowing rate.
Calculate Liability & ROU Asset
Discount future payments to present value for the lease liability. Add initial direct costs and deduct incentives for the ROU asset.
Apply Expense Pattern
Finance leases: front-loaded interest plus straight-line amortization. Operating leases: single straight-line lease expense each period.
