See what the investment
needs to earn.

Explore volume, capacity and ownership costs together. Compare a cash purchase with a fixed-rate loan, then test what changes when demand develops slowly.

Your assumptions.

Enter your figures or deliberately choose an example above. Use written quotes and completed bookings where available. All amounts are USD.

01 / Purchase & funding

Device purchase price ($)Setup & installation ($)Include training, delivery and upfront taxes here.Payment approach

02 / Treatment economics

Collected revenue per treatment ($)Use revenue after discounts and refunds.Consumables & other variable costs ($)Per treatment, including transaction fees if applicable.Provider compensation per treatment ($)Include all incremental provider compensation.Monthly service & maintenance ($)Other incremental monthly overhead ($)Include marketing, software, staffing and other added fixed costs. Avoid double-counting labor.

03 / Demand & delivery capacity

Target treatments per weekMinutes per treatment slotInclude preparation, turnover and documentation.Available room hours per weekHours allocated to this service on one device; do not add simultaneous rooms.Available provider hours per weekQualified provider coverage overlapping the room hours.Usable share of available hours (%)Allow for downtime, schedule gaps and other lost time.

The model limits treatments to the smaller of room or provider capacity. This simplified model assumes one provider for the full slot and one treatment at a time.

04 / Ramp-up & evaluation period

Month reaching target volume0 or 1 means full volume from month 1; otherwise a linear ramp.Month-one share of target volume (%)Evaluate over (months)

How this model works.

Capacity & volume

Weekly capacity = min(room hours, provider hours) × 60 ÷ slot minutes × usable share. Modeled volume is the lower of requested volume and capacity. Months use 52 ÷ 12 weeks and a linear ramp to your target.

Contribution & break-even

Treatment contribution = collected revenue − variable costs − provider compensation. Monthly operating contribution deducts service and added overhead. Cash break-even volume also covers the monthly loan payment during the loan term.

Return & cash recovery

Project ROI = (cumulative operating contribution − purchase and setup) ÷ (purchase and setup). This is an undiscounted, pre-tax project return before financing. It is not an annualized return or practice net profit.

Cash flow deducts upfront cash and loan payments. Recovery is the first month cumulative cash stays nonnegative through your chosen horizon. Debt may still remain; its balance is shown separately.

Financing & exclusions

Payment = principal × monthly rate ÷ [1 − (1 + monthly rate)^−term]; a zero-rate loan uses principal ÷ term. Setup and financing fees are paid upfront. No residual value, depreciation, tax effects, inflation, replacement, working-capital changes or displacement of existing revenue is included. Add relevant incremental costs yourself.
