However, to calculate straight-line rent expense, you simply add up total cash rent paid and divide by the lease term in months. For example, if rent is $50,000 total for a 5 year lease and the first year is free, then you would pay the $50,000 over 4 years at $12,500 per month.

The two most common types of leases are operating leases and financing leases (also called capital leases). In order to differentiate between the two, one must consider how fully the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the asset have been transferred to the lessee from the lessor.

The straight-line method cuts through all the noise of the varying times at which a lessee pays their rent and shows the payments distributed evenly over the course of the lease.

Operating leases and Finance leases are the two most common types of leases (also called capital leases). In order to distinguish between the two, it is important to understand how the costs and benefits associated with the possession of the asset have been fully transferred from the lessor to the lessee.

An operating lease is a contract that permits the use of an asset without transferring the ownership rights of said asset. A finance lease is a contract that permits the use of an asset and transfers ownership after the lease period is complete, and the lessor meets all other contract obligations.

A capital lease, now known as a finance lease, resembles a financed purchase; the lease term spans most of the asset's useful life. An operating lease resembles a rental agreement in that the asset is used for a set time with useful life remaining at lease end.

TIAs are a type of lease incentive. Under ASC 840 they were recognized as a reduction to rental expense on a straight-line basis with an offsetting credit to a lease incentive liability on the balance sheet. Under ASC 842 TIAs paid at lease commencement are now recognized through a reduction to the ROU asset.

Lessors are required to determine if a lease is classified as an operating or finance lease and use the appropriate accounting treatment. The main driver between operating and finance leases for lessors under IFRS 16 is transfer of ownership. Lease agreements where the lessor maintains ownership are operating leases.
