Frequently Asked Questions
How is the payback period calculated?
The cost of the investment divided by the extra profit it generates each month, a standard, real payback-period formula, not a guess.
Does this account for loan interest?
No, it's the payback period on the investment itself, if you're financing it with a loan, factor the real interest cost into your own extra-monthly-profit figure separately.
What counts as "extra monthly profit"?
The real, additional profit the investment brings in each month, more covers from extra seating, higher margin from new equipment, whatever the actual expected benefit is.
