THE MODEL
Start With Your Numbers
This simple model combines your annual welding hours, fully burdened hourly cost, share of welding labor hours redeployed, estimated system investment and potential grant share. It divides net investment by modeled annual labor value to show simple payback. It is illustrative, not a quote or forecast.
Arc-on plus handling hours in scope per year
Wages, benefits and overhead per welder hour
Hours your team can move to higher-value work
Your quoted or budgeted system cost

SCENARIO ESTIMATE, NOT A QUOTE
Enter your numbers to see a simple payback
Simple payback divides net investment by modeled annual labor value.
Not an ROI forecast or grant determination. Excludes consumables, uptime, integration, financing and production variability. Verify all assumptions with your team.Assumptions and Boundaries
| Input or output | How it is modeled |
|---|---|
| Annual labor value | Modeled annual labor-capacity value = annual welding hours in scope × fully burdened hourly cost × share of labor hours redeployed. |
| Net investment | Estimated system investment × (1 − potential grant share percentage). |
| Simple payback | Net investment ÷ annual modeled labor value, when positive. |
| Exclusions | Consumables, uptime, integration, financing and production variability. Grants are not guaranteed. |
