It’s easy to adjust to 15k miles.
There is no LH calculator. 
Anyway, who really wants to be driving an EQB?
For sure not LHs LOL
Ok, thank you. Considering all the recommendations to buy out, I will reach out to Toyota Finance and get a buyout quote. Thanks!

is it base XLE or with additional Convenience/Weather packages? 2025 or 2024 model?
To be honest I’m not sure i would want an EQB over a prologue if both were the same price. Drives great but it’s one of the ugliest cars on the road IMO. Prologue looks pretty decent on the other hand.
OP is getting a RAV4, not a Prologue.
replying to the wrong thread… oops
Still going with the RAV4 over EQB but EQE, GLC350e, or Q5e would have been about the same money as OP is paying so if they are strictly leasing and not going to buy out the RAV4 then probably going to go with the other options.
Are you sure? I hate to be that guy, but OP’s mileage requirements are 15k/year.
Yes, I’m also a 15k lease guy…
Here’s a Q5e from the deals tab which is not even the latest price you can find from brokers:
2024 or 2025? Probably a one-off deal on a 2024 model. Anyway, OP seems to have settled on the RAV4.
So just briefly looking at the Marketplace broker deals right now, which is the easy way if you are not familiar with leases. You can get the following luxury SUVs for less, even if going up to 15k miles per year. Remember you put $4500 down. Some are hundreds less per month like the EQB:
Mercedes EQB 250
Mercedes GLA 250
Mercedes GLB 250
Mercedes GLC 300 Demo
BMW X3
Audi Q4
Audi Q5
The list goes on… enjoy the car you got, but next time do your research here before going to the dealer. If you aren’t familiar with negotiating a deal yourself, you can get a deal from a broker or the pre negotiated deals on here.

Pretty sure the guy already signed.
You’re preaching to the choir.
I am guessing you meant responding to the OP.
I didn’t get a car. @pnr1981 did.
You asked and as you see from the responses, there are many luxury SUV options for less than the price OP paid.
OP: take it from someone who’s hacked 9 leases for some amazing cars since 2016, this place was a gold mine when I started. If you learn to negotiate, you can avoid the broker fee and get an even better price than the Marketplace.

Not all listed SUVs are cheaper than OP’s RAV4 deal. Btw, OP has already signed their lease deal. No point in beating a dead horse.
OP asked this question AFTER signing so we are just letting him know for next time. And yes every single luxury SUV I listed is less than what OP paid.

Yes, I had already signed the deal and I wanted to know from the experts in this area on what would have been an acceptable lease per month with $4.5k down on 2025 RAV4 Hybrid XSE with ~$44K MSRP.
As I said earlier, I went to 4 different dealers before this and all of them quoted ~$650+ after $4.5K down, so, when I went to this dealer (and I had to get a car in hand soon), they initially started a higher range and I negotiated a bit, they came down to $577 per month + $4.5K down… if I had done some more research, I could have negotiated some more it looks like, but still, from all these conversations, I haven’t got a clear idea on what would have been a decent per month lease $ with $4.5K down. Thanks for all the inputs so far!
Thanks, got it, will research more and negotiate next time!
