The printing cost calculator works out the total cost of printing from the page count and the cost of paper and ink per page. It shows what printing a document or project really costs.

How the calculator works and what it’s for

How the cost is calculated

The cost per page is the ink cost plus the paper cost for one page, and the total cost is that sum multiplied by the number of pages.

For example, if a page costs 5 cents and there are 200 pages, the total comes to 10 euros.

What you enter and what you get

Enter the page count and the ink and paper cost per page in cents. You get the cost per single page and the total cost of the whole print job in euros.

This makes it easy to compare different printing methods or devices.

Who it is for and when

It suits offices, students and home users who want to budget printing costs or compare inkjet and laser running costs.

It can also help you decide whether a large print job is better handled by a print shop.

Good to know

Inkjet ink often costs around 3–6 cents per page and laser 1–3 cents per page. Colour images and high coverage push the price up.

The calculator gives an indicative estimate. The real cost is also affected by maintenance, waste and double-sided printing.
