There is no single useful lease price without context. Equipment type, contract length, monthly usage, service scope and optional features can all change the proposal.
A simple cost framework
Estimated monthly cost = equipment payment + service charge + mono page charges + colour page charges + optional extras.
Why similar-looking quotes can cost different amounts
- Different contract durations
- Included page allowances
- Minimum usage commitments
- Separate servicing charges
- Installation and delivery
- Consumables coverage
- Excess usage rates
- End-of-term arrangements
