Commercial Dishwasher ROI & TCO Benchmark Selector

Evaluate lifecycle expenditures across up to five manufacturers. Normalize energy, water, filtration, and chemical consumption on a strict per-cycle basis to calculate real operating payback.

1. Site Operational Profile & Utility Rates

Global Variables

Cycles / Day Average daily wash cycles

Operating Days / Year Days facility is active

Electricity Rate ($/kWh) Regional energy tariff

Water Rate ($/Liter) e.g., $4.00 per m³ = $0.004/L

3. Executive Benchmark & Lifecycle ROI (5 Years)

Live Analysis

Manufacturer	PVP (CAPEX)	Energy / Cycle	Water / Cycle	Total Cost / Cycle	Annual OPEX	5-Yr TCO	ROI vs Baseline

Consultant Audit Notes:

Methodology notes:

• Cost per Cycle = (kWh × Elec Rate) + (Water L × Water Rate) + Chemical Cost + Filtration Wear.
• Annual OPEX = (Cost per Cycle × Cycles/Day × Days/Year) + Preventative Maintenance.
• 5-Year TCO = Machine PVP + (Annual OPEX × 5).
• ROI / Payback calculated relative to Manufacturer 1 (Meiko) based on annual OPEX differentials.
