The complete IFRS 16 lessee calculation engine. Input your lease parameters and receive a full amortization schedule, dated journal entries, ROU asset depreciation table, and audit-ready disclosure extracts — all in under 60 seconds. No spreadsheets. No manual calculations. No margin for error.
Lease Liability Amortization Schedule
The foundation of IFRS 16 lessee accounting. At commencement, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate or implicit rate. The engine generates a complete period-by-period schedule showing opening balance, interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, lease payment, and closing balance — with an exact calendar date on every row.
- Monthly, quarterly, and annual payment frequency
- In advance and in arrears payment timing, both correctly modelled
- Final period hardcoded to zero — floating point drift eliminated
Right-of-Use Asset Recognition
Parallel to the lease liability, the ROU asset is recognized at cost on the commencement date. Cost comprises the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received from the lessor, plus the present value of any estimated dismantling or restoration obligations under IAS 37. The engine decouples the ROU asset from the liability — they can and often do differ.
- Initial Direct Costs (IDC) capitalized into ROU asset cost
- Lease incentives received reduce the ROU asset automatically
- PV of IAS 37 dismantling provision added at Day 1
ROU Asset Depreciation
The Right-of-Use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date. The depreciation period is typically the lease term. However, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, or if ownership transfers at the end of the lease term, IFRS 16 requires depreciation over the useful economic life of the underlying asset instead. The engine handles both cases.
- Depreciation over lease term as the default rule
- Useful economic life override when purchase option exists
- Ownership transfer checkbox triggers the life override automatically
Lease Modification Engine
Lease modifications are the most technically demanding area of IFRS 16. A modification is any change in scope or consideration that was not part of the original terms. The engine handles all six distinct modification types defined in the standard, including the advanced cascading sequence that combines a scope decrease with a simultaneous term extension and rate change — the scenario that defeats most spreadsheet models.
- Scope decrease: proportionate write-off with P&L gain or loss
- CPI and index reassessments locked to original IBR per IFRS 16
- Mixed modification: Step 1 scope reduction then Step 2 remeasurement
Financial Statement Disclosure Generator
IFRS 16 paragraph 53 requires quantitative disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The engine reads from the underlying amortization schedule and generates the complete disclosure package for any reporting date you specify. The SOFP extract correctly splits the lease liability into current and non-current portions. The maturity analysis groups undiscounted future payments into the three mandatory time bands.
- SOFP: ROU asset (cost, accumulated depreciation, NBV) and liability split
- SOCI: interest expense, depreciation charge, and total cash outflow
- Maturity analysis: not later than 1 year, 1 to 5 years, later than 5 years
Excel Workpaper Export
Every schedule, journal entry, modification summary, and disclosure extract exports to a professionally formatted Excel workbook in a single click. The workbook contains multiple worksheets covering every output the tool generates. All monetary figures use true Excel accounting format — numbers not text strings — so columns sum correctly and the workbook can be incorporated directly into audit working paper files.
- Accounting number format `#,##0.00` on every monetary cell
- Auto-fitted column widths — no truncation, no ### errors
- Multiple worksheets: Liability, ROU, Journals, Modification, Disclosures
