Payback in 1 month

$656,631 net per year + $1,632,944 NPV over 3 years. Adjust the sliders to see your sensitivity to each input.

Inputs: Machine hourly rate is the burdened cost (labor + facility + amortization). Downtime cost per hour is your fully-loaded lost-revenue + recovery rate — usually 5-10x the burdened machine rate.

Method: Current annual downtime cost = machines × downtime hrs/wk × 52 × $/hr. Projected cost scales by (100−goalOee) / (100−oeeNow) — a higher goal OEE produces proportionally less remaining downtime. Subscription cost from $199/machine/mo (Visibility tier, 5-machine minimum). NPV at 10% discount rate over 3 years of constant net cash flow.

Vertical median: P50 OEE published by ISO 22400-2, Vorne OEE Foundation, and MESA International. As more orgs publish to Flowstate's public benchmarks table, these defaults are replaced with live fleet data.

Source-of-truth: Pricing comes from tiers-client.ts — the same constant that drives Stripe checkout. Change one number, the whole calculator updates.

Walk-Through

Methodology sourced from ISO 22400-2 (KPIs for manufacturing operations management), Vorne OEE Foundation benchmarks, and MESA International published ranges. Pricing reflects the Visibility tier ($199/machine/mo, 5-machine minimum, no setup fee). Numbers are estimates — actual ROI depends on integration depth, operator adoption, and shift coverage.
