Calculation method

Calculation method

Replacement due dates

Issue date + supplied planned life days.

Replacement cost due by horizon ($)

Sum replacement costs whose due dates are at or before as-of+horizon, including overdue items once.

Straight-line accrued replacement reserve ($)

For each item cap elapsed/life at 1, then multiply by replacement value × quantity.

30-day equivalent ongoing reserve ($)

Sum(value × quantity / selected life days) × 30.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A reserve ledger from your chosen replacement lives, not a prediction of wear or growth. Accrual is capped at one replacement per issued item; the 30-day equivalent is not a calendar-month forecast.
