How to use Printing Cost Calculator
Enter original pages, copies, N-up pages per side, sidedness and copy boundaries. Select Home/office or Print shop. Blank active prices leave the monetary total unavailable while counts remain usable. Paper/setup are separate only when enabled. Print the labelled planning estimate from an isolated text-only document, without the surrounding directory page.
Worked example
5 pages × 3 copies, duplex, one page/side and separate copies uses 15 printed sides and 9 sheets, with 3 unused side slots. Paper at 0.10 and ink at 0.05 gives 0.90 + 0.75 = 1.65.
Rules and limits
Pages 1-100000, copies 1-10000, derived instances at most 1000000; N-up 1/2/4/6. Rates 0-10000 with six decimals, setup 0-1000000, money total at most 1000000000. Each exact quantity × rate line rounds half-up to cents before summing. Continuous mode may mix copies on one side. This counts impressions/resources; it does not impose an actual PDF or provide a supplier quote, invoice or toner-yield guarantee.
