Formula and assumptions

Simple payback days = hardware cost ÷ positive daily operating profit. Annual operating return = daily profit × 365 ÷ hardware cost × 100%.

Enter an actual hardware quote; zero means no price supplied. Simple payback assumes fixed daily profit and excludes financing, resale value and time value of money.

Worked example

Illustrative only: $3,000 of hardware and $3/day of net operating profit gives 1,000-day simple payback. A loss has no finite payback.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when profit is negative?

There is no finite simple payback; annual operating return can be negative.

Is payback a forecast?

No. Network conditions, price, equipment availability and repairs can change.
