Calculation

  1. 1Real yield = 5000 × 5% ÷ 5% = 5000 pages
  2. 2Toner = ¥180 ÷ 5000 = ¥0.0360/page
  3. 3Paper = ¥30 ÷ 500 = ¥0.0600/page
  4. 4Per page = ¥0.096 · job ¥9.60 · month ¥48.00
  • Rated yield is measured at 5% A4 coverage (ISO/IEC 19752 mono laser, 24712 inkjet) — correct it by your real coverage.
  • Coverage dominates: 5% text ≈ 5000 pages, 30% charts may drop to ~850 pages on the same cartridge.
  • Typical per-page: laser mono ¥0.03-0.08, ink tank ¥0.01-0.05, standard inkjet ¥0.10-0.30 (paper excluded).
  • Buy XL / high-yield cartridges — higher sticker price, lower cost per page.
  • Frequent short jobs waste toner on cleaning cycles; batch your printing.
  • Some printers warn "empty" at 20-40% toner left — weigh the real yield, not the chip.
