An image forming apparatus includes an attribute determining unit that determines an attribute concerning a hue of an original; a multi-page layout unit configured to arrange image data of a plurality of originals on a single sheet thereby obtaining a multi-page layout; and a cost calculating unit that calculates a printing cost of the originals. The cost calculating unit calculates the printing cost for the multi-page layouts of different combinations of the image data of the originals arranged by the multi-page layout unit based on an outcome of determination by the attribute determining unit.
