HP 67 cost per page: calculator with current prices

Cost per page = current price ÷ stated yield, per color position. The calculator works out your year in whole cartridges.

Adjust prices (prefilled: lowest checked price, September 27, 2026)

Assumption: black pages use the black cartridge, color pages the tri-color cartridge; yield = HP's figure (ISO/IEC 24711). In practice a color page often uses some black too and cleaning cycles use ink, so treat the result as a lower bound. You buy whole cartridges, so the calculator rounds up per year. Prices are before sales tax.

Extra 67 → XL price and capacity

  • Black: +$13.00 for 120 extra stated pages
  • Tri-color: +$13.00 for 100 extra stated pages

Cost per 100 black pages: 67 $19.08 · 67XL $14.95. The yield is HP's stated figure under ISO/IEC 24711 with continuous printing; actual yield can vary considerably.

Use the right yield

HP states about 120 pages for HP 67 black, 100 for HP 67 tri-color, 240 for HP 67XL black and 200 for HP 67XL tri-color (ISO/IEC 24711). Never add black and tri-color into one figure: they don't run out at the same time, and the cost per page differs per position.

Estimating a year's cost

Multiply your monthly volume by twelve and round up per cartridge — the calculator does this. That also lets you compare a subscription such as HP Instant Ink over the same period; check the included pages, extra pages and the connection requirement. All prices are before sales tax.

Cost per page questions

Is the HP 67 2-pack (3YP29AN) cheaper than two single cartridges?

The official 2-pack 3YP29AN contains one standard black and one standard tri-color cartridge. Whether it's cheaper than buying them separately depends on the current pack price versus the sum of the single prices — compare both before you buy. HP doesn't sell an HP 67XL 2-pack in the US; its US-only combo 3YP30AN pairs one 67XL Black with one standard 67 Tri-color.

How do I work out the cost per page of an HP 67 cartridge?

Cost per page = cartridge price ÷ stated page yield. For HP 67 Black (3YM56AN, about 120 pages) and HP 67XL Black (3YM57AN, about 240 pages), divide each current price by its yield. HP's yield is an average under ISO/IEC 24711 with continuous printing; with occasional printing or lots of color photos your real yield can differ.

Will I always get HP 67's stated page yield?

Not necessarily. HP's figure (120/100/240/200 pages) is an average measured under ISO/IEC 24711 by printing a test document continuously. Occasional printing, cleaning cycles after long idle periods and pages with heavy color coverage all reduce the real yield compared with HP's figure.

Is an alternative always cheaper per page?

Not automatically. An alternative's yield is the seller's own figure, often '@ 5% coverage' and not measured to the same HP standard. Also factor in shipping costs and the chance of a return if a cartridge isn't recognized.
