TrueCost
Know the real cost before you buy
A purchase price tells only part of the story. TrueCost helps you estimate the cost of buying and using a product over time.
Printer cost calculator
Estimate what a printer may cost with ink or toner across your chosen usage and ownership period.
Coffee calculator
Compare a machine’s purchase price with the cost of coffee and included upkeep for the way you make drinks.
What TrueCost does
Choose a calculator, enter a purchase price and your usage, and inspect the costs behind the result. The amount you spend depends on the exact product, consumables, prices and assumptions you choose. A lower estimated cost does not tell you which product is best for every purpose.
- Pick the product category.
- Enter your own usage and purchase price.
- Review the result, its cost breakdown and assumptions.
We explain the inputs and calculation rules so you can judge whether they fit your situation. Read how TrueCost works.
