2 required values are still missing.
What the result is useful for
Ink Cost Calculator is useful for quoting and job review because revenue alone does not show whether setup, materials, labor, finishing and waste leave enough gross profit.
How the calculation works
Consumable cost = measured/estimated usage × unit cost.
What this calculator cannot know
The result includes only the costs and volumes entered. Taxes, financing, downtime, reprints, overhead, minimum charges, waste and opportunity cost may need separate treatment.
