Monthly Spend Estimate Formula

  1. B&W Print Spend = Monthly B&W volume x Cost Per Page Entered at 5% Toner Coverage
  2. Color Print Spend = Monthly Color volume x Cost Per Page Entered at 5% Toner Coverage
  3. Toner Coverage Increases: The Cost Per Page is multiplied by the following factors if greater than 5% coverage as more toner is used: 10% x 2, 15% x 3, 20% x 4, 25% x 5 and 30% x 6, etc
  4. Calculation assumes user is currently buying OEM / Printer Brand Toner
  5. Total Print Spend = total values from A, B and C x 60% (Note: toner typically represents 60% of the total Cost-Per-Page on most print devices, the remainder being drums, labour and other service costs)
  6. Monthly Estimated Spend with Cartridge World = Total Print Spend x 60% (toner value) – 30% (potential savings by switching toner purchases to Cartridge World)
