Estimate how quickly your returnable packaging investment pays back - and how much you save each year versus one-way carton or plywood packaging.
Default 5%. Adds extra pool units to replace damaged units.
1208 = €12 + €6 · 1210 = €14 + €8
1208 = €75 · 1210 = €90
You can enter here your own €/km negotiated price.
Max 500 km/day. 800 km = 2 days.
7 days = typical JIT / automotive. Distributors and export flows typically 21–60 days.
Lean (15%) - stable loop · Standard (25%) - typical · Secure (35%) - complex flows
The ROI calculation is based on returning with FTL. Choose the period over which the business case should be evaluated.
5 years is the default analysis period. Changing the period only affects the total result calculation; payback and annual savings remain unchanged.

Results
1. Annual volume
trucks/month x units/truck x 12
2. Cycle time
outbound + wait + inbound + buffer
Wait = accum time for full return truck + dwell
3. Required pool
((annual vol / 365) x cycle days) + reserve
rounded up to full truck multiple
4. Investment
pool size x unit price
5. Annual savings
(one-way cost - return cost/unit) x annual volume ± optional ROI adjustments
6. Payback
investment / annual savings x 12 months
