This model uses Inspector labor and payroll cost, Travel and vehicle cost, Software, reporting and administration, Follow-up and failed-access cost, Completed rental inspections. Keep currencies, accounting treatment and time periods consistent with one another.
The formula
Inspection cost per completion = total inspection program cost ÷ completed inspections
What the calculator produces
The primary output is Cost per completed rental inspection; it also exposes Total selected inspection program cost, Failed-access and follow-up share. Change one assumption at a time so the comparison remains explainable.
