Equipment ROI calculator
Equipment ROI calculator
Will the machine pay for itself, and how fast? Enter the cost, the revenue it adds, what it costs to run, and your financing payment. You get ROI, payback period, and a break-even date. Results are estimates, not a quote.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate ROI on equipment?
Take the monthly profit the machine adds (added revenue minus operating costs and any financing payment), multiply by the number of months, subtract the equipment cost, and divide by the equipment cost. That gives the return over the period as a percentage.
What is a payback period?
It is how many months it takes for the machine's monthly profit to add up to its cost. A shorter payback means the machine pays for itself sooner.
What is a good ROI for a machine?
This calculator rates 20% or more over the period as excellent, above 10% as good, 5% to 10% as moderate, and under 5% as low. What is good for your shop depends on your margins, your backlog, and how long the machine will run.
Should I include the financing payment?
If you will finance the machine, enter the payment to see your profit after the payment. Use the payment calculator to estimate it, or call for a quote up front.
