Formula Used

The calculator estimates cost using billable duration, rate-plan comparison, and optional workload planning.

1) Billable days
BillableDays = max(EnteredDays, MinimumBillableDays)
2) Rate-plan cost per unit
DailyCost = ceil(BillableDays) × DailyRate
WeeklyCost = ceil(BillableDays / 7) × WeeklyRate
MonthlyCost = ceil(BillableDays / 30) × MonthlyRate
ChosenPlan = lowest cost (or forced selection)
3) Add-ons, waivers, surcharges, tax
RentalCharges = (ChosenPlanCost × Units) + (DailyAddOns × BillableDays × Units) + FlatAddOns
DamageWaiver = RentalCharges × DamageWaiver%
FuelSurcharge = RentalCharges × FuelSurcharge%
Subtotal = RentalCharges + Waiver + Surcharge + Operator + Logistics − Discount
GrandTotal = Subtotal + (Subtotal × Tax%)
4) Optional workload planning
RequiredHours ≈ (Area × Passes) / (Productivity × Efficiency × Units)
SuggestedDays ≈ ceil(RequiredHours / WorkHoursPerDay)
