Equipment payback planner

See what the right equipment could unlock.

Turn your actual job volume, contribution margin, and installed cost into an honest equipment payback estimate.

Your assumptions stay editable Incremental benefit, not a sales promise

Build the case with your shop’s math.

Use your actual price, freight, installation, and incremental-work assumptions.

Estimated payback — Adjust the assumptions below.
1. Your investment

Use the real delivered and installed cost—not a guess at the sticker price.

Your equipment

Optional: include any new working capital needed to fill a new bulk-fluid system.

2. Incremental lift capacity

Only count work this lift helps you complete, add, or retain—not revenue you would have earned anyway.

Revenue remaining after incremental technician labor, parts, and consumables.

2. Heavy-duty lift capacity

Use a weekly job count for lower-frequency, higher-value fleet and truck work.

Use profit after the added job’s direct labor, parts, and consumables.

2. Alignment, repair capture, and ADAS

The repair and calibration sections are optional. Enter only work this equipment lets you newly capture.

There is no universal industry default—use your shop’s actual inspection and approval data.

2. Time and throughput benefit

Choose one value path so saved technician time is not counted twice.

2. Storage and ownership value

Use costs you actually avoid or a monthly ownership value you can defend. Do not invent shop-service revenue for a home or storage lift.

2. Tire service volume

Use the natural unit—individual tires mounted or balanced—not a vague vehicle count.

2. Fluid-service economics

Enter the actual service price and direct costs for the fluid service this equipment supports.

2. A/C refrigerant service

Model recovery, recycle, evacuation, and recharge work. Do not put a whole A/C repair ticket into the routine refrigerant-service line.

Optional. Count only work that was previously sent out, declined, or not retained.

2. A/C repair and flush opportunity

A/C flushing is a repair procedure, not a routine refrigerant service. Choose one value path to avoid double-counting the repair and the flush.

2. Bulk-fluid system economics

Use actual delivered pricing and one time-value path. A tank package can save on product cost, waste, and labor—but do not count the same saved minutes twice.

Refine ownership and financing assumptions

Maintenance, inspections, insurance, subscriptions, or other recurring costs.

Leave at 0 for a cash-purchase estimate.

What the number means

It is deliberately transparent, so your team can pressure-test the assumptions before making a purchase decision.
