Hello my fellow New Yorkers! I went and created Lease Calculator that works specifically with our great state's wonky sales tax rules for car leases. I know this probably won't be useful to anyone yet for at least a month or two (at the earliest), but I wanted to share it now so people can start playing around with it, and maybe even find any errors I may have made.

To use it, just save it to your own Google Doc account, or you should be able to download it as an Excel file.
I have it set with the figures that my dealer quoted me over the phone for a lease through the credit union NEFCU. For reference, I also included the most recent numbers for a lease through Nissan (which appear to be more expensive). Speaking of which -- does anyone know of any downsides to leasing through someone other than Nissan?
Please let me know if you discover anything that needs to be changed. I'll probably be updating it once I actually get into the dealership and see how accurate it was for me.
