WHY IT MATTERS
Cheap filament doesn’t mean a cheap print

FAQ
Common questions
Is this calculator really free?
Yes. The web calculator is free to use. The optional Pro workbook adds advanced costing and order tracking.
Does the site store my print data?
No. This version performs the calculation locally in your browser and does not send your entered job values anywhere.
What printer wattage should I use?
Use an average measured wattage if you have a plug-in power meter. If not, use a sensible estimate for your printer and treat the result as an approximation.
Why isn’t labour included in the free calculator?
For quick quotes, the free version focuses on direct print costs. The Pro workbook includes labour, depreciation, maintenance and more detailed pricing controls.
