Structure any deal in seconds — four-square worksheets, payment sliders, lease vs buy comparisons, trade-in valuation, and real-time profit tracking. All built into your DMS.
Traditional desking means scratching numbers on a four-square sheet, running to the finance office to verify rates, and hoping the math is right. One mistake — wrong tax rate, missed fee, wrong residual — and you lose credibility with the customer or eat into your profit margin.
Desk2Deal's digital desking suite puts every calculation at your fingertips. Slide a payment slider and watch all the numbers recalculate instantly — down payment, trade equity, monthly payment, total financed, taxes, fees, and your profit. Compare lease vs finance scenarios side by side. Calculate commissions in real time. Every number is accurate, every time.
Join dealers who close faster with digital desking, real-time profit tracking, and integrated F&I tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is F&I desking software?
F&I (Finance & Insurance) desking software helps dealerships structure deals by calculating payments, comparing finance scenarios, computing trade-in equity, estimating taxes and fees, and maximizing profit — all before the customer sees a single number. Desk2Deal's desking tool includes a visual four-square worksheet, payment sliders, lease vs buy comparison, and real-time profit breakdowns.
Does the desking tool calculate taxes automatically?
Yes. Desk2Deal includes a configurable tax engine with bracket-based progressive taxation. You can set tax rates per location, define which deal fields are taxable, and choose whether to apply tax before or after trade-in deduction. Taxes are calculated in real time as you adjust deal numbers.
Can I do four-square worksheets digitally?
Absolutely. Desk2Deal's desking tool includes a full digital four-square worksheet — trade-in value, vehicle price, monthly payment, and down payment — with interactive sliders that update all four quadrants simultaneously as you adjust any number.
How does the commission calculator work?
The commission calculator pulls the deal's front-end and back-end gross profit, then applies your dealership's commission plan (flat rate, tiered, or percentage) to show each salesperson and F&I manager exactly what they'll earn on the deal in real time.
Does it support lease vs buy scenarios?
Yes. The lease calculator computes residual values, money factors, monthly lease payments, and total lease cost. You can compare lease vs finance side-by-side so your customer sees both options on one screen to make an informed decision.
