IFRS 16 IFRS 16 recognises the lease on balance sheet as a liability and a right-of-use asset. The main exemptions are short-term leases and low-value assets. In P&L the lease cost is split into depreciation and interest.

Effective interest method

The calculator applies the effective interest method under IFRS 16. Each payment is split into interest and principal, while the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term.

Present value (PV)

PV of liability equals the discounted stream of lease payments plus the discounted residual or purchase option value. The discount rate is usually the incremental borrowing rate or the rate implicit in the lease.

PV = Σ [ PMT / (1 + r_m)^t ] + RV / (1 + r_m)^n
r_m = (1 + r_annual)^(1/12) − 1

Payment split

Each period allocates part of the payment to interest and the remainder to principal. The closing liability balance is then rolled forward into the next period.

Int_t = Balance_{t-1} × r_m
Cap_t = PMT − Int_t
Balance_t = Balance_{t-1} − Cap_t

ROU Asset

ROU asset equals the lease liability adjusted for initial payments and direct costs. It is typically depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life.

ROU = PV_liability + Initial_payment
Dep_m = ROU / lease_months

EBITDA impact

IFRS 16 usually lifts EBITDA versus operating lease accounting because the lease expense is reclassified into depreciation and interest. That changes EBITDA even if total cash outflow stays the same.

ΔEBITDA = PMT_annual − Dep_ROU_annual
(interest expense below EBITDA line)
