	Note: If you forgot, please go back to the product page to get the price.
	Payback Period				Year(s)
	*****This means that it will take (from above payback calculation) years to pay for the new machine based on labor savings (but don't forget to add the increase in efficiency also). Most companies look for a 1-3 year payback period on machinery purchases such as this.
	Note: This calculation is figured by dividing your labor cost savings into the cost of the new machine.

Usually with new equipment you will see an increase in output. Click here to go to our Increased Efficiency Calculator, if you have not done so already.
