How to Use This Calculator

Select the Elevator Type (hydraulic, traction, MRL).
Enter Number of Stops, Elevator Age (years), and Contract Type (oil & grease, full maintenance, or full maintenance + parts).
Input the Number of Elevators and Annual Trips per Unit.
Review Total Annual Cost, Monthly Cost, Per Elevator/Year, Cost per Stop, Cost per Trip, and the Age Multiplier.
Use this to benchmark current maintenance spend or evaluate service contract proposals.

How the result changes with Number of stops

Elevator type: 0 = Hydraulic, 1 = Traction (geared/gearless), 2 = Machine-room-less (MRL).
Number of stops: Total number of landings/stops served by the elevator.
Elevator age (years): Age of the elevator system in years.
Contract type: 0 = Oil & grease (basic), 1 = Full maintenance, 2 = Full maintenance + parts.
Number of elevators: Total elevator units in the building (bulk discount applies).
Annual trips per unit: Estimated number of trips per elevator per year.

Total annual cost ($): Combined annual maintenance cost for all elevators.
Monthly cost ($): Total maintenance cost per month.
Per elevator/year ($): Annual cost per individual elevator unit.
Cost per stop/year ($): Annual cost divided by total stops across all elevators.
Cost per trip ($): Maintenance cost attributed to each trip.
Age multiplier: Cost multiplier based on equipment age (1.0 = new).

Elevator type = 1, Number of stops = 6, Elevator age (years) = 10, Contract type = 1 = 6 input(s) provided
Calculate Total annual cost
Total annual cost = perElevatorCost * numElevators * bulkDiscount
23940 = $23,940
Calculate Monthly cost
Monthly cost = totalAnnualCost / 12
1995 = $1,995
Calculate Per elevator/year
Per elevator/year = (baseCost + stopCost) * ageFactor * contractFactor * usageFactor
11970 = $11,970
