How much does it cost to lease an office copier?
Office copier lease payments can range from roughly the low hundreds per month for compact business equipment to more than $1,000 for faster color A3 or production systems. Service, page charges, taxes, software and end-of-term costs may be additional.
Turn a copier lease payment into a complete cost
Price the exact copier, feeder, trays, finisher and software, then ask for the cash price, amount financed, term, payment count and total payments. Separately list the service base, included pages, black-and-white and color overages, annual increases and exclusions.
A quoted monthly payment may assume a long term or omit required options. Compare several terms using the same configuration and realistic volume, and read renewal, return and buyout clauses. The office copier lease guide gives a fuller checklist; copier lease quotes should show every recurring cost.
Price the equipment around one clear workload.
Give providers the same volume, paper, scanning, finishing and service brief.
