How is the payback period calculated?

The ROI calculator compares the investment in the selected BTD firewood processor with the expected return from your annual firewood production. Based on the information you enter, the calculator estimates the expected costs, returns and payback period.

The following information is used:

  • selected BTD firewood processor and purchase price;
  • annual production volume (m³);
  • average timber purchase price per m³;
  • average selling price per m³;
  • average labour and fuel costs per m³.

Based on these figures, you can immediately see the costs per m³, expected margin per m³, annual profit and estimated payback period of your investment.

Note: The result should be regarded as an estimate. Factors such as wood type, log diameter, market conditions, machine utilisation and the selected machine configuration can affect the actual payback period.
