See what a print job costs per page
Each page is the job price divided by the pages.
- Calculated from what you enter
- About 2 minutes
- Easy
The short version
- For someone who already has the numbers in hand.
- Divide a print-job price by a page count you type.
- It is not a decision about what you should buy, sign, or qualify for.
The moment
You type what the shop charged, or will charge, and how many pages. The page divides.
After this, you can see what a print job costs per page.
Your guess first
These numbers are an illustration, not a store price. Job price 12.00; Pages 40.
The turn
The first illustration comes out to $0.30. The total split by the count, to the nearest cent. A second illustration comes out to $0.45. The total split by the count, to the nearest cent.
Why the number hides
The counter shows a job total. The page price is hidden inside the page count.
Now run your own numbers
Do this next
- Type the total price.
- Type the count.
- Read the cost of one.
- Round-off is to the nearest cent.
- Use your own count, not a guess from the shelf.
Who this will not work for
- A price this page did not ask you to type.
- Tax, unless you folded it into a number.
- Advice about what you should buy.
A pitfall
If some pages are priced differently, this average will not match each page.
How this was calculated
Cost per page equals the job price divided by the pages, to the nearest cent.
This is arithmetic on the numbers you type. It doesn't check store prices.
