Return On Investment Calculator

To support you in making a well-founded financial risk assessment to start continuous improvement in your company, we have a calculator that indicates profit and loss development in your specific situation.

You only need to fill in your specific numbers for turnover, fixed and variable costs, and estimated downtime. The ROI Calculator shows the influence of the uptime increment on your margins.

It is possible to generate a report for a single production unit, where unit can be a single machine, a production line, or a complete factory. By clicking the "Add new" button you can add units and generate a stacked report.
