HOW THE CALCULATOR WORKS

Depreciation (Own): Purchase price minus estimated resale value, divided by total operating hours over the ownership period.

Rental Cost (Rent): Monthly rental rate divided by hours operated per month.

Fuel: Gallons consumed per hour multiplied by fuel price per gallon.

Maintenance: Estimated parts, labor, and service cost per operating hour. Includes filters, fluids, undercarriage wear, and scheduled service.

Overhead: Monthly insurance and fixed overhead divided by hours operated per month.

This calculator provides estimates for planning purposes. Actual costs vary based on application, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. Contact Wyoming Machinery for a detailed cost analysis tailored to your operation.
