Equipment Owning and Operating Hourly Rate
Owning (depreciation + interest/insurance/tax carry) plus operating (fuel + maintenance + wear) per hour, the CAT/AED method. A $50K skid steer, $10K salvage, 5,000-hr life at 1,000 hr/yr -> $23.40/hr; running it more spreads the fixed carry thinner. The owner costs and utilization govern.
Formula and source
deprec = (purchase - salvage)/life_hr; IIT = (iit%/100) x ((purchase + salvage)/2)/annual_hr; owning = deprec + IIT; operating = fuel_gph x price + maint + wear; total = owning + operating.
The CAT / AED equipment owning-and-operating cost-recovery method, by name.
