Calculator Questions Answered
We use an industry average of $0.18 per unit for in-house printing, based on real data from our machine network: ink/consumables ($0.06), labor ($0.05), energy ($0.02), machine depreciation ($0.03), and waste/overhead ($0.02). Your actual cost may be lower once you optimize production.
The calculator includes all operating costs: ink and consumable wear, labor time (at $18/hr estimate), energy, a 5-year machine depreciation spread, and a 10% waste/overhead buffer. It does not include the one-time machine investment — that's your payback calculation.
Yes. We partner with commercial equipment lenders offering 24–60 month terms. Starter Package financing typically starts at $650/month. With savings from in-house printing, most customers are cash-flow positive from month one. Ask our team for a financing scenario specific to your volume.
It's a conservative baseline using market average selling prices and our tracked variable cost per unit ($0.22/unit including ink, cup waste, and consumables) plus $800/month in fixed overhead estimates. Real results depend on your sales effort, local market pricing power, and operational efficiency. Many of our entrepreneurs exceed these projections within 6 months.
