YOUR PROJECT DETAILS

Your figures. A transparent comparison.

Complete the project fields first. Then enter your name, email, and phone number to unlock your results and report.

Shared assumptions

Net downtime impact per hour in USD

Use your net production impact. Exclude internal labor and direct costs counted below. Enter 0 to exclude production impact.

Internal labor cost per hour in USD

Use the same loaded labor rate for both scenarios.

Cleaning events per year

Use a whole number for the same equipment scope.

Current cleaning scenario

Current downtime hours per event

Total lost production time associated with the cleaning event.

Current internal labor hours per event

Total person-hours. Two people for four hours equals eight person-hours.

Current direct costs per event in USD

Contractor fees, materials, utilities, and residue handling. Exclude costs already entered.

Proposed cleaning scenario

Proposed downtime hours per event

Enter an estimate or tested duration. This tool does not assume a reduction.

Proposed internal labor hours per event

Your team’s person-hours for access, oversight, inspection, and related work.

Proposed direct costs per event in USD

Use a written quote or your own budget assumption. Include all agreed direct costs once.

How to use the cleaning cost comparison calculator

Enter the current and proposed costs for the same equipment scope. Include downtime, your team’s labor, and direct project costs. The calculator shows the total cost of each scenario, the difference per event, and the annual difference at your chosen frequency.

Keep the comparison consistent

Use net production impact for downtime, rather than gross sales. Exclude costs already counted in the labor or direct-cost fields. For example, do not count a contractor’s crew again as internal labor when the quote already includes that crew. Enter zero when a cost does not apply.

What the results can tell you

The output compares your assumptions. It does not estimate Precision’s rates or assume that dry ice cleaning takes less time. A negative annual difference means the proposed scenario costs more under the figures you entered. A positive difference is a modeled saving, not a promised result.

Turn assumptions into a scoped project

Use a representative test and a written quote to replace uncertain durations and costs. Confirm equipment access, the required finish, inspection, and return-to-service responsibilities.
