Can Anyone estimate the first payment on the Pro Max for all the sizes on the upgrade program with tax?

Or what the formula what you're paying and when with the upgrade program?

Thanks!
 
Tax, so whatever that is in your area. I believe 7-11% is the range.

edit: mine looks to be 7% total. State (FL) is 6% and city is another 1% on top.
 
The first payment is slightly higher. I have to admit I don't remember why - it may be taxes, or it might be something else. I bought a Max on the IUP and the initial payment was maybe $25-30 higher, IIRC. [ETA: it was more, see my next post in this thread]

So if the phone is 60 per month tax 100 that would be first payment of 180 will it say what your payment is when you pre approve?
 
Here's the actual numbers from the email I got from Citizens when I bought, I mean leased ;) , my 64GB Max:

We've received your initial payment of $122.77, and your recurring monthly payment of $54.08 will be automatically charged to your card on file.

Wow So only 122?

My intial charge was 300 because I had to pay a few months worth to get out early.

Luckily this year I hit the 12 months.

Yup, those are the real numbers. Having to pay up a few months to get to 12 payments would obviously send the first payment up, though I'm sort of surprised that it wasn't part of the prior year loan settlement rather than billed on the new phone receipt? Not that it makes any economic difference...

Happy I won't have to lay out 2 months this year! Thanks.. and do they give you the number when your're in the pre approval stage?

I don't recall - I think the Genius did point that out before we actually pulled the trigger, but I don't know if he actually gave the the number or not.
