An example to check
Using the starting values below, the calculation gives:
A simple payback period — Assumed savings are 1,300 € per year. At constant savings, they would offset the net investment in about 7.69231 years.
Compare this period with the expected period of use. Include maintenance and replacement in your assumptions; simple payback ignores financing, discounting and future tariff changes.
