Investopedia explains 'Capitalized Cost Reduction'

A capitalized cost reduction for a car is similar to a down payment on a home. The higher the upfront money put against the value of the good being purchased, the lower the remaining balance requiring finance will be.

Monthly lease payments are calculated by taking the net capitalized cost (capitalized cost - capitalized cost reduction) and subtracting residual costs.
