Calculating Your Payback Period: When PreserveOne Pays for Itself

Understanding ROI is critical before any capital purchase. To calculate your payback period for a PreserveOne unit:

1. Determine Monthly Savings
   Track your average monthly spend on spoiled produce or supplies.
2. Estimate Operating Costs
   Include electricity ($5/month) and filter replacements ($10/month prorated).
3. Compute Net Savings
   Subtract operating costs from avoided waste costs.
4. Divide Purchase Price by Net Savings
   For a SmartCube™ at $299 with $50/month net savings, ROI = $299 ÷ $50 ≈ 6 months.

Commercial users with higher volumes often see net savings of $200+ per month, pushing ROI under three months. Use our online ROI calculator tool for custom scenarios, or consult our support team for detailed projections tailored to your operation.
