Humanoid robot cost calculator

Let P = purchase price, M = monthly access fee, D = deployment cost, Y = useful life or scenario term, A = annual maintenance and other operating costs, H = operating hours/year, E = task effectiveness as a fraction, S = supervision hours per operating robot hour, W = hourly wage, and B = benefits load as a fraction.

• Loaded human hourly cost C = W × (1 + B).
• Fixed annual robot cost F = P / Y + D / Y + A for purchase; F = 12 × M + D / Y + A for RaaS or subscription.
• Productive hours Q = H × E.
• Annual robot cost R = F + H × S × C.
• Robot cost per productive hour = R / Q; undefined when Q = 0.
• Annual human cost for the same output = Q × C.
• Break-even effectiveness (%) = 100 × [F / (H × C) + S].

Straight-line annualization, one robot, constant annual inputs and no residual value. This is a partial cost model: no financing, discounting, inflation, tax treatment or exit costs are calculated. Add relevant energy, insurance, software and support costs to annual operating costs. Human-equivalent task output is a user assumption; it does not establish quality, safety, task suitability or autonomous operation. Human costs scale with productive hours here; staffing constraints, breaks and paid nonproductive time require a separate allowance.
