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 an indicative payback period.

The following information is used:

  • selected BTD firewood processor and purchase price;
  • annual production volume (m³);
  • average purchase price of the wood per m³;
  • average selling price per m³;
  • average labour, fuel and depreciation costs per m³.

Based on this information, you can immediately see the costs per m³, the expected margin per m³, the annual profit and an indicative payback period for your investment.

Note: the result is an estimate. Factors such as wood type, log diameter, market conditions, machine utilisation and the selected machine configuration may affect the actual payback period.
