Cost calculator: buying versus renting Scales
Figure out your expected period of use (in years, months or days) and the amount of use the equipment will get (expected hours of use).
The cost to rent equipment | The cost to own equipment |
Rental rate (per year/month/day) x rental period (number of years/months/days) + pickup/delivery charge = total rental cost | Purchase cost + delivery, maintenance, insurance (ownership costs) – resale value = total ownership cost |
Total rental cost / rental period = rental cost per year/month/day | Total ownership cost / ownership period = ownership cost per year/month/day |
Total rental cost / expected hours of use = rental cost per hour of use | Total ownership cost / expected hours of use = ownership cost per hour of use |
