Sensor Total Cost of Ownership Calculator

This calculator is based on the Sensor Total Cost of Ownership white paper (https://spaceagecontrol.com/s054a.htm). It allows you to compare the lifetime costs of ownership of two sensors or transducers.

What Is The Purpose of This Calculator?

This calculator provides insight into what the lifetime costs are in purchasing, maintaining, storing, replacing, and otherwise using a sensor or transducer. The results from the calculator can often indicate that the initial purchase costs are just a small fraction of the sensor's lifetime costs. The calculator is a model only that is subject to the assumptions above as well as factors unique to your application.

The calculator does not address the time value of money.
