Cost per Hectare & ROI Calculator
Adjust the parameters below to estimate your operational costs and return on investment for the T100 system.
Configuration
Current Spraying Method
Ground rigs are the most common benchmark. Default cost reflects typical owned boom sprayer operation.
Operation Scale
Scale affects utilisation, downtime tolerance, and whether multi-aircraft operation is justified.
Number of Aircraft
Additional aircraft increase peak throughput and resilience, but do not scale output linearly due to shared logistics, refilling, airspace, and operator constraints.
