An image forming apparatus is capable of more accurately detecting the relationship between an actual amount of color deviation and an estimated amount of color deviation. The image forming apparatus forms a color deviation detection mark at timing when the estimated amount of deviation reaches a threshold value. The timing is different from the timing when it is determined that it is necessary to perform normal calibration. The image forming apparatus determines the relationship between the actual amount of deviation of an image forming position from a reference and the estimated amount of deviation to set an estimating unit for estimating the amount of deviation.
