The Morehouse True Cost Calculator helps calibration labs and end-users see the real financial impact of their measurement decisions, not just the sticker price of equipment. It takes your inputs (labor rate, measurement risk analysis, calibration volume, rework costs) and calculates the probability of false accept and false reject for every machine option, then converts those risks into actual dollar figures.
Most buyers compare calibration machines on purchase price alone, but this spreadsheet shows that a cheaper machine with a lower test uncertainty ratio can cost tens of thousands more per year in rework, wasted labor, and undetected out-of-tolerance results. It also generates payback periods, break-even analysis, and guard band comparisons so you can build an internal business case with real numbers instead of gut feel. This calculator uses ERF-based Drezner approximation and other risk calculations.
Whether you are evaluating a Morehouse system against a competitor or justifying an upgrade to your management, this calculator puts the full cost picture in one place.
