How it works

Understand the economics of your print environment

1

Baseline

Capture devices, page volume, color use, click charges, paper, hardware, lease, IT, maintenance and downtime.

2

Optimize

Model consolidation, new CPP, pull print, duplex, mono conversion, routing, mobile workflows and remote management.

3

Measure

Calculate annual and cumulative savings, current and optimized TCO, payback, ROI and environmental estimates.

4

Build the business case

Support budget approvals, MPS projects, fleet renewals, procurement, tenders and investment decisions.

Transparent assumptions. No black-box ROI.

See exactly how the model works

The methodology documents current print cost, optimized MPS cost, volume policies, routing, productivity benefits, annual savings, ROI, payback, environmental estimates and the Solution Coverage Indicator directly from the calculator logic.

Beyond print

Printing is only one part of your document cost

Paper handling, manual data entry, document retrieval, approval workflows and physical archives can cost organizations significantly more than printing itself.

Frequently asked questions

Managed Print Services ROI, explained

What is Managed Print Services?

Managed Print Services is an ongoing approach to assessing, supplying, supporting and optimizing an organization's printer and MFP fleet, often including monitoring, consumables, service, security and print-management policies.

How is MPS ROI calculated?

The calculator compares the modeled annual cost of the current fleet with the optimized annual MPS cost, then relates projected savings to implementation and software investment over the selected contract term. The full formula is documented in the methodology.

What costs should be included in a print fleet assessment?

Include click charges, paper, leases or hardware depreciation, software, IT administration, maintenance and credible downtime costs. Use only savings assumptions supported by the proposed solution or customer data.

How accurate is the calculator?

Accuracy depends on the quality of the inputs and assumptions. It is an indicative business-case tool, not a guarantee. A fleet audit and contract review can replace estimates with measured data.

Is my information uploaded to a server?

Calculator inputs are processed and stored locally in your browser and are not sent to our servers. Contact or account information is separate and would only be transmitted through a deliberately configured contact or account service.

Can I use the calculator for a print tender?

Yes, it can help structure a transparent baseline and scenario model, but procurement requirements, bidder responses and final commercial evaluation should be validated independently.

Can PrintManagementROI audit my printer fleet?

Print fleet audit and optimization advisory is offered as a consultation pathway. Scope, data availability, geography and deliverables need to be agreed before an engagement is confirmed.

Can you help create an MPS tender or RFP?

Tender and RFP advisory can cover discovery, requirements, SLAs, security, pricing schedules, response templates, evaluation criteria, scoring and TCO modeling.

Can you help with digitization and document management projects?

Advisory can help assess paper-heavy processes and prepare a vendor-neutral roadmap or business case for scanning, content services, document management, IDP and workflow automation.

Can MPS providers use the calculator with customers?

Yes. The free calculator can support transparent customer conversations. Saved assessments, branded reports, team workflows and white labeling are future Pro or Partner directions, not current free features.
