Behind the cost per page
How we get toner cost per page.
Anonymous cartridge math for the 14 distinct models in the 20-printer sample. Retail price ÷ rated yield = cost per page. Full-color CPP adds Black + Cyan + Magenta + Yellow. Toner only — no dealer cost, no margin, no customer name.

The formulaMethod
- CPP ($/page) = retail cartridge price ÷ rated yield (pages).
- Full-color CMYK CPP = Black CPP + Cyan CPP + Magenta CPP + Yellow CPP.
- Prices are an October 2026 Staples retail snapshot (October 3 and October 5, 2026, PT). They have not been refreshed.
- Yields are manufacturer rated yields as listed by the retailer. The coverage basis (for example ISO test number or percent coverage) was not stated in the source — we do not claim ISO or 5% coverage here.
Adjustment applied to every model: none. No margin, markup, or service charge. Excludes paper, tax, freight, drums, belts, fusers, and other consumables. Actual consumption varies with coverage, calibration, waste, and utilization. CPP shown to nine decimal places; model sums use unrounded divisions.
