Five short questions. We recommend a Toshiba eStudio model from the published range.
Indicative recommendation only
- This tool recommends a model. It does not quote a price.
- Leases start from $160/month ex GST on a 36–60 month term (entry tier published price).
- Your final monthly investment is set by the finance provider when the lease is signed.
Desire
Imagine one bill that never surprises you
Your Forster Toshiba eStudio lease bundles the hardware and the running costs into a single set monthly payment, so the only thing you buy is paper. No separate toner orders. No surprise service bills. Just one predictable line on the books.
Included in every lease: the device, scheduled maintenance, genuine Toshiba toner and consumables, and remote diagnostics for the contract term.
Desire
Predictable monthly cost, not a big capital hit
Buying a machine outright is a large upfront cost. Leasing spreads it into a flat monthly figure from $160/month ex GST, so your Forster cash flow stays steady and easy to budget.
Illustrative timing only. The bars show when money goes out, not a total. Total cost depends on the term, device and finance provider, and is confirmed in writing when the lease is signed.

Important: read before using this estimator
- The final monthly lease cost is set by the finance provider when the lease is signed and may differ from any figure you see on this page.
- The starting price of $160/month ex GST (36 to 60 month leasing agreements) is the entry tier across the Toshiba eStudio range.
- Your actual monthly cost depends on the specific device chosen, the lease term, your business credit profile, and the finance provider’s rate on the day.
- This tool is for orientation only.
- The only figure that is binding is the monthly cost on your signed lease agreement.
Indicative only. Not a quote. A formal quote requires confirmation of device, term, monthly volume and finance provider.
