Calculate ROI / TCO for this mix
Carry this equipment plan into the ROI and TCO tools to evaluate the financial case.
Calculate ROI →Calculate TCO for this mix
Estimate the full cost of ownership over the useful life.
Calculate TCO →Assumptions
- • Equipment density per sqm: 0.035 units/sqm
- • Tier CAPEX multiplier: 1.6
- • Focus mix ratios: mixed preset
- • Unit prices: from equipment profiles / benchmark typical price
Limitations
- • Mix ratios are heuristics — Focus-based ratios are built-in rules pending editorial benchmark review (B2).
- • Does not include installation or flooring — CAPEX is equipment purchase only.
Data sources & method
This tool uses FitnessNav benchmark data: equipment useful life, maintenance %, energy consumption, pricing and scenario presets. Every assumption shown in the result references its benchmark metric. Benchmarks are verified over time through industry research — draft values are clearly flagged.
