Enter the total cost of printing and the number of prints into the calculator to determine the cost per print. This calculator helps in understanding the individual cost for each print produced.

Cost Per Print Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the cost per print.

CPP = TC / NP

Variables:

  • CPP is the cost per print ($)
  • TC is the total cost of printing ($)
  • NP is the number of prints

To calculate the cost per print, divide the total cost of printing by the number of prints produced.

What is Cost Per Print?

Cost per print is a measure of the expense associated with producing each individual print. This metric is crucial for businesses and individuals who engage in printing services or require a large number of prints. It helps in budgeting, pricing, and understanding the efficiency of the printing process.

How to Calculate Cost Per Print?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Cost Per Print.


  1. First, determine the total cost of printing (TC) in dollars.
  2. Next, determine the number of prints produced (NP).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = CPP = TC / NP.
  4. Finally, calculate the Cost Per Print (CPP) in dollars.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total cost of printing (TC) = $500

Number of prints (NP) = 250
