Lifecycle calculation

Pump lifecycle
cost comparison

Compare two pumping alternatives using discounted capital, energy, maintenance, repair, downtime and replacement costs.

Registration required for results

No project values are preselected.Example placeholders show the expected format only. Enter and verify every assumption for the two alternatives before calculating.

Project

Financial and evaluation basis

Use nominal escalation and discount rates consistently. Tariffs and rates are user assumptions, not forecasts by Metsiworx.

Pumping alternatives

Option A
Option B

Calculation basis

Whole-life value—not purchase price alone.

01

Energy

Input power, operating pumps, annual hours and tariff determine year-one energy cost. Future energy costs are escalated and discounted.

02

Reliability and maintenance

Planned maintenance, repairs, spares and estimated downtime consequences are included as recurring operating costs.

03

Replacement and value

Replacement expenditure occurring within the study period is escalated and discounted. The lowest total present value is identified.
