Bank Rate is used to compute the subsidy (the buy-down cost). The Customer-Facing Rate drives the finance payments shown on proposals. The Lease Rate drives the Lease option payments.
Suggested range: — (30% of amortized payment) to — (1% of equipment cost).
Residual % applies only to the Lease option — it's the end-of-term buyout as a percent of equipment cost. Typical guide: 30% at 12/24/36 months, 20% at 48/60 months.

Total Subsidy = monthly difference × number of regular-payment months. This is the estimated cost to buy the customer rate down from the bank rate.
