How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the equipment cost, the revenue it generates per month, and its monthly operating cost.
  2. Add the lifespan so the return is measured over the full life.
  3. The result shows the return and payback so you can compare buying this against other uses of the cash.

What each term means

ROI (return on investment)
Net profit from the equipment as a percentage of its cost.

Ongoing cost to run the equipment (power, supplies, upkeep).
Lifespan
