Ink and toner prices can make two similarly priced printers very different to run over time. Use our calculator to estimate how much your printer costs for one, 100 or 1,000 pages. You only need the replacement cartridge price and its manufacturer-stated page yield. Printer running-cost calculator ## Calculate your printer cost per page Enter the replacement consumable price and the manufacturer's stated page yield. We'll calculate the estimated ink or toner cost for one, 100 and 1,000 pages. Formula Consumable price ÷ stated page yield = cost per page Estimated consumable cost 0.00 cents per page $0.0000 per page 100 pages $0.00 1,000 pages $0.00 What this calculator doesn’t include This is a quick ink-and-toner comparison. Your total running cost may also include drums, belts, waste-toner containers, maintenance boxes, fusers, servicing, paper, electricity, downtime and ink used during cleaning. Manufacturer yields are tested under standard conditions; actual results vary with page coverage and usage. ## How Is Printer Cost Per Page Calculated? The basic formula is: **Consumable price ÷ stated page yield = cost per page** For black-and-white printing, divide the black ink or toner price by its stated page yield. For colour printing using separate black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, calculate each cartridge’s cost per page and add the four results together. This provides an estimated consumable cost. Actual results depend on what you print, page coverage and how the printer is used. ## Find Ink and Toner Prices [Browse ink, toner and consumables in the Hunter Office Technology shop](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/consumables/) to find replacement supplies for your printer. Check the exact printer model, cartridge code and stated yield before entering figures. Standard and high-yield cartridges can have different purchase prices and costs per page. Use a consistent GST basis when comparing prices, and compare replacement cartridges rather than assuming the starter supplies included with a printer have the same yield. For MPS-exclusive consumables or supplies covered by a managed print arrangement, [contact our team](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/hot-contact/) for the applicable pricing. ## What Else Affects Printer Running Costs? The calculator estimates ink or toner costs. Your total printing costs may also include: - Drum and belt units. - Waste-toner containers and maintenance boxes. - Fusers and maintenance kits. - Ink used during cleaning. - Paper and electricity. - Servicing and repairs. - Equipment purchase or finance costs. Manufacturer-stated yields are measured under specified test conditions. They provide a useful comparison, but the number of pages you achieve will vary. ## Comparing a Replacement Printer Consider purchase price, running costs and the features your workplace needs together. A lower cartridge cost per page may be useful for frequent printing, but the printer also needs to suit your paper sizes, colour requirements, scanning workload and connections. [Shop printers and scanners](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/printers-and-scanners/) to compare retail models, specifications and pricing. For business equipment and tailored support, explore our [Brother Business Printers](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/printers/business-printers/) or [Epson Partner Printers](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/printers/epson-partner-printers/), then contact us to discuss your requirements. ## Managed Print Services and Cost Reviews For businesses with regular printing requirements or several devices, a review of actual usage can provide a more complete picture than cartridge costs alone. Hunter Office Technology can assess your print volumes, consumable purchases, equipment and support requirements before recommending a suitable arrangement. Our [Managed Print Services](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/services/managed-print-services/) can bring together equipment, monitoring, consumable supply and servicing, depending on the agreement selected. When comparing a managed print quote with this calculator, check what each price includes. A service-inclusive page rate and an ink-or-toner-only estimate cover different costs. ## Need Help Comparing Your Options? Whether you want to buy a replacement printer, reduce consumable costs or explore ongoing print management, we can help you assess the options. [Contact Hunter Office Technology](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/hot-contact/) to request a print-cost comparison, or [shop ink and toner](https://www.hunterofficetechnology.com.au/consumables/) for your current printer.
