Dry Erase Board Break-even Analysis
and Pricing go directly to the Price and Savings Grid
Because of custodial labor savings, many schools and organizations who use chalkboards, or dry erase boards that require periodic deep cleaning to remove ghosting and other marks, realize a break-even during the first or second year. The following savings is calculated on just custodial hours. When the costs of cleaners is added in, the payoff occurs even sooner.
Breakeven example on a 4 foot by 8 foot Dry Erase-Plus
Overlay (costs only $104.00)2 minute wipe down each night and a 6 minutes deep cleaning once per week (14 minutes per week)
Labor cost per hour (wage, taxes, and benefits)
Equation: ($11.50 / 60 minutes) x 14 min/wk) = $2.68 per week to clean a 4'x8' dry erase board
$104.00 original cost / $2.68 cost every week for extra cleaning = only 9 months until breakeven!
You have breakeven in less than one year with just the savings on just custodial hours! The breakeven occurs even quicker when cleaning costs are included.
Your upgrade is paid off in the first year plus you place extra money in your budget!
Plus, you have a picture perfect board for every presentation! between every erasing! every time!
Since your purchase will permanently reduce your costs in maintaining the writing surfaces (both chalkboards and other dry erase boards), the savings can be calculated for any given period of time. Here we have calculated your savings after the first two years. On your budget, the savings will be shown as profit (revenues minus expenses). The more boards you upgrade the lower your expenses and the higher your savings and profit!
How to calculate the amount saved (profit realized) at the end of year 2...
Based on taking 2 minutes per 4' x 8' board (32 sq feet). The total resulting from: Columns C x D1 x D2 / 32 sq feet will determine the number of equivalent 4' x 8' sized boards. Multiply this number by 14 minutes per week at a labor cost of $11.50 / hour (includes benefits) ($11.50 / 60 x 14 = $2.68 labor cost per week per 4' x 8' board). Multiply this savings by 104 weeks (52 weeks x 2 years). The result is how much labor costs savings that will occur in two years. Subtract out the original purchase price, and this will be your net amount of savings.
Equation: C x D1 x D2 / 32 x $2.68 x 104 - Column E = the net amount of money you saved
in two years!... Now you have both the savings plus picture perfect, durable, dry erase surfaces!
You may calculate the initial investment and the resulting savings in either the grid below or on the calculator grid:
The calculator below computes the savings based on the above
example of cleaning a chalkboard or a conventional dry erase board (column H) for 2 years.
Enter your information into the blue spaces in the calculator grid; the program will automatically calculate your
initial cost and your savings after the second year of use. The net savings includes the cost of the items
(total savings - cost = net savings).
