Methodology
Payment models use the standard amortization formula at the midpoint of each credit tier's APR range over a 60-month term. These are worked models, not financing offers.
Tax figures use the 2026 Section 179 limit of $2,560,000 and the statutory bonus-depreciation schedule (One Big Beautiful Bill Act). Statutory limits are third-party sourced from published law; savings projections assume a 35% bracket.
