Healthcare Decision ToolsWill this equipment actually pay for itself?
Enter what the equipment costs and what it earns or saves you. We calculate the annual net benefit, payback period, and ROI, using the longer payback window medical equipment actually gets in practice. The verdict is plain: a strong buy, a reasonable one, or too risky.
About this tool

What you enter
Total investment including installation, training and accreditation; productive life; residual value; revenue from the new service; savings on external referrals; efficiency and staff time savings; maintenance and calibration cost; other operating costs.
How it is calculated
Net annual benefit, payback period against a window longer than the industrial one, simple return and annual return on investment.
What you get
