There are a number of different ways that costs can be broken down in a Xerox copier lease. It depends on whether you are leasing the equipment outright or on a cost-per-copy basis.

If you are leasing a Xerox copier and signing a service contract either with Xerox or a third party service provider, then the cost of your copier will be entirely dependent on the interest rate offered by the lessor on your copier lease.

If you are looking at a cost-per-copy lease, then your costs will be on a per-click basis. That means that each copy will cost a certain number of cents. Often that amount will include the costs of service and supplies, but always make sure that is explicity stated in your lease terms. Typically, there will be one figure for color copies and another for black-and-white copies. If your color copier lease has a zero base, that means there is no minimum per month. The base is the amount of money that you will pay regardless of the number of copies that you run.

The key with copier lease payments is determining which arrangement will give you the maximum return for your investment. The more copies you are making, the greater your leverage should be with a given vendor or manufacturer.
