Break-Even Analysis
You have purchased the Damsak® water bladder for R24,150 (including VAT and Shipping). Below is a simplified calculation to see how many minimum 3-day rentals you need to break even on this investment.
A. Income per Minimum (3-Day) Rental
-
Rental (3 days)
- R475 per day x 3 days = R1,425 -
Setup & Fill Fee
- R750 -
Drain & Disassembly Fee
- R750 -
Fuel / Travel Surcharge
- For a 40 km round trip at R4.06/km: 40 x R4.06 = R162.40
> Total Charged to Client for 3-Day Rental:
R1,425 (rental) + R750 (setup) + R750 (drain) + R162.40 (fuel)
= R3,087.40
B. Costs to You per Rental
- Fuel Cost: R162.40
- Your Bladder Purchase: R24,150 (one-time)
(We assume minimal additional costs. If you have labor or other overheads, add them accordingly.)
C. Profit per 3-Day Rental (Before Other Overheads)
> Profit = Total Charged – Fuel Cost
= R3,087.40 – R162.40
= R2,925.00 (approx.)
D. Number of 3-Day Rentals to Break Even
> Break-Even Point = Purchase Price / Profit per Rental
= R24,150 ÷ R2,925
≈ 8.26 rentals
Since you can’t rent out 0.26 of a time, you would need 9 minimum (3-day) rentals to fully cover the initial purchase cost of R24,150.
Final Thoughts
-
Fewer or More Days Rented?
If a client rents the bladder for more than 3 days, your daily rental income (R475/day) increases, which helps you reach break-even faster. -
Scalability
Over time, as you secure more bookings, you’ll move from covering initial costs to generating profit. -
Versatile Uses
Promote usage for pool renovations, construction sites needing water storage, farms needing temporary water reserves, and more.
