Calculators

Cost per year calculator

Spreads purchase price, consumables and repairs over the years you expect to keep it.

Formula

cost per year = (purchase price - expected resale value + consumables per year x years + expected repairs) / years

Assumptions

  • Resale value is your own estimate. Nothing here predicts a used-market price.
  • No discounting or inflation is applied: a cost in year five counts the same as a cost today.

Limits

A planning figure for comparing two purchases, not an accounting depreciation schedule.
