# How do I calculate price per page for printer ink?

Divide the cartridge retail price by the manufacturer-rated page yield. For example: a $25 XL cartridge rated for 500 pages costs $0.050/page. A $15 standard cartridge rated for 150 pages costs $0.100/page. BuyPerUnit calculates this automatically for every cartridge across Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg.
