HOW THE CALCULATION WORKS

Annual depreciation = (purchase price − resale value) ÷ useful life. Annual cost = depreciation + annual fixed costs + (operating cost per hour × annual hours). Total hourly cost = annual cost ÷ annual operating hours.

This simplified estimate excludes financing interest, taxes, inflation and exceptional repairs. Enter a realistic number of productive operating hours; fewer hours increase fixed cost per hour.
