HV Divider TCO Calculator
A divider's purchase price is only the visible cost. Enter an indicative purchase price and how heavily you would use the divider; this tool estimates the five-year total cost of owning it, renting it, or sending test objects to an external laboratory.
Use a budgetary figure — DEMIKS quotes the exact price by voltage class and accuracy.
How many weeks a year the divider is actually in service.
Weekly rental rate, or the calibration-house fee per week of testing.

Owning — 5-year cost build-up
Purchase price
Calibration downtime (industry avg 5–10% of value/yr)
Maintenance (industry avg 2–5% of value/yr)
5-year owning total
Estimates use mid-range industry averages (calibration 7.5%, maintenance 3.5% of equipment value per year) from rent-vs-buy analyses for high voltage test equipment. Depreciation is excluded as a non-cash cost. Figures are for planning, not a DEMIKS quotation.
