FREE PRINTING COST GUIDE
Xerox and Photocopy Cost Calculator
Estimate document copy sets, colour and B&W pages, single/duplex sheets and finishing using your own shop rates.
Open Xerox / Photocopy calculatorHow to estimate the cost
Multiply original document pages by complete copy sets to count printed sides. For duplex jobs, round sheets separately for every set so odd-page documents retain their blank last sides.
- Enter original pages and complete copy sets.
- Choose paper, page orientation, sides and colour/B&W mix.
- Enter real paper and production rates.
- Choose production-cost markup or already-inclusive retail rates, then add finishing and applicable tax.
Before you quote a customer
Retail rates already include paper/printing and margin: do not add markup twice. Confirm original page counts, duplex output, paper stock and any extra customer finishing charge.
Use your own shop rates. The calculator is a planning estimate, not a supplier price feed, accounting invoice or guarantee of printing-machine suitability.
Frequently asked questions
Does landscape always cost more?
No. Orientation changes the page dimensions; photocopy sheets and printing depend on page count, sets, sides and rates.
How many sheets for five pages copied ten times duplex?
Thirty sheets before waste: each five-page set needs three sheets. There are fifty printed customer sides and ten blank last sides.
