The TCO Calculator is designed to help people who are new to the concept of total cost of ownership.
It may not be particularly useful to those who are experienced and/or qualified in accounting or related disciplines - it is
recommended that these people continue to use their current methodology, or seek more sophisticated software.
The calculator contains a number of categories and sub-categories of costs associated with the life-cycle of an item. Some
these are obvious, like the purchase cost of the item, but some are things that you might not have thought of, such as the c
of outages. The calculator is designed to prompt you to think about costs that you may not have thought of, but you only ne
to enter data into the fields that apply to the product that you are procuring.
The TCO calculator should be used in conjunction with the Guide to the Total Cost of Ownership.
This can be found on the website:
HomePage | Procurement.govt.nz
You can use the calculator to compare the TCO for several options, to make a decision about which is the least expensive o
the expected lifetime of the product or service.
You can ask suppliers to present the total cost of ownership in the proposals. You may use this Calculator as a template in y
tender.
