The setup planner

Know the first-year cost.

An editable budget, using your own assumptions. No live prices, measured power figures or product-specific running-cost claims.

The prefilled values are illustrative planning inputs. They are not quotes for any printer in our catalogue. USD only; replace every assumption with your own.

Your setup, your numbers.

Estimated first year
  • One-time setup
  • Annual material
  • Annual electricity
  • Annual running budget*
  • Monthly running equivalent*

*Material + electricity + your maintenance allowance. The monthly equivalent excludes the initial setup purchase.

What is included?

First-year cost = setup + 12 months of material and electricity + annual maintenance allowance. Material allowance adds a percentage to planned base use. It is not a measured failure probability.

Useful boundaries

Rated maximum power is not average energy consumption. Warm-up, idle time and different profiles can change actual use. This calculation uses the average wattage and printing hours you enter, and excludes separate idle consumption. Add paid software, workspace changes or any other costs to your accessories allowance if relevant.

It also excludes labour, financing, resale value, depreciation and business taxes. Material figures should include delivery or tax in the unit cost if you want those captured. This is a personal budget planner, not a profitability forecast.
