Calculation method & limits
Operating cost = vehicle count × cost per vehicle + fixed cost. Profit = observed revenue − operating cost. Margin = profit ÷ revenue; it is undefined at zero revenue. Payback = initial investment ÷ positive profit, measured in your chosen reporting periods; zero investment needs zero periods. A non-positive profit cannot repay a positive investment. Include relevant station, maintenance, financing and other recurring costs in fixed costs. This is a static scenario, without discounting, tax, depreciation, resale or a TF2/TF3 ticket-income formula.
