To see a lease, pick a vehicle. A lease is priced on one car: what it is expected to be worth at the end (its residual) and the leasing company's money factor change by model and by month.
An estimate on the numbers you type, not an offer of credit or a quote from any dealership. Starting loan rates are Rateous's rates for each credit range and term; they are not an offer from any lender. The documentary fee starts at an example figure, the state's legal cap where it has one or $599 where it does not, not any dealership's fee; each dealership sets its own. Taxes and state fees are estimates for Newport, KY; the dealership's paperwork and your motor vehicle agency have the final numbers. Nothing you type is sent, saved, or used to check your credit.

About 6% all in for Campbell County. Kentucky uses one statewide rate on vehicles, so it does not change by city.
A motor vehicle traded in at the time of purchase reduces the taxable retail price when attested in a notarized affidavit (KRS 138.450).
A car the selling dealership ships out of its own state usually carries no sales tax in that state; you pay Kentucky tax when you register it in Kentucky. Picking the car up in another state can mean paying that state's tax at the dealership first, and whether Kentucky credits it depends on the two states. Whether a dealership ships to Newport is up to the dealership, and it sets its own shipping charge, shown on the car before you sign.
Kentucky sets no cap on it. Each dealership sets its own documentary fee (not a government fee), and each car shows its dealership's fee.
