The charging management server uses a management database to obtain a model name of a target image forming apparatus, uses a model-release date table to obtain the release date of the target image forming apparatus, calculates a count of elapsed days since the release date to the present, and uses the count of elapsed days to obtain a discount rate in charging for the target image forming apparatus based on a discount rate table.
