Using Rules of Thumb

This online calculator is a practical tool for the estimation of capital equipment costs associated with alternative layouts, operating systems, and equipment applications.

To establish the formulas and pricing database that drive this tool, information from a wide variety of sources has been melded in an effort to provide reasonable value ranges. The resulting output figures are high-level budget estimates only and are intended for rough calculation purposes. Actual costs may vary significantly from those listed depending on your specific application. All prices contained herein include delivery and installation (if applicable) based upon average transportation and labor rates.

We recommend that you favor the high budget range when considering small quantities, heavy-duty, or complex applications. Conversely, it is suggested that you favor the lower end of the price spectrum when large quantities, light-duty, or simple applications are being explored. Should you require assistance or clarification, please feel free to contact us:
