Annualized Packaging Equipment Cost Calculator

Estimate annual equipment cost by straight-line spreading of an equipment investment over a positive user-entered service life, then adding annual maintenance. Formula: annualized capital = investment / service life; annual equipment cost = annualized capital + annual maintenance. This is not a tax depreciation schedule or discounted cash-flow calculation.

Example values are prefilled to demonstrate the calculation. Replace them with values for your product, package, equipment, and operating conditions.
