JobbersWorld Decision Tools

TCO & Value Selling Suite

Tools to help quantify the value of premium lubricants beyond price per gallon, including drain intervals, labor savings, downtime reduction, consumption changes, and annual operating cost impact.

Important: These tools are for informational, planning, and value-selling purposes only. Results are directional estimates and depend on user-provided assumptions. They do not replace customer-specific operating data, maintenance records, engineering analysis, warranty review, OEM guidance, or commercial judgment.
For full assumptions and limitations, see the Comprehensive Tool Disclaimer →

Fleet Lubricant TCO Calculator

Purpose:
Compare the annual operating cost of a current lubricant against a proposed lubricant.

When to Use:
Use this when selling a premium lubricant based on longer drain intervals, fewer service events, lower downtime, or reduced maintenance cost.

How to Use:
Enter fleet size, sump capacity, drain intervals, lubricant price, labor cost, downtime cost, and disposal cost for the current and proposed products.

Premium Product ROI Calculator

Purpose:
Estimate whether a higher-priced lubricant creates a positive return through savings elsewhere in the operation.

When to Use:
Use this when a customer says the premium product is “too expensive” and you need to show whether the total value offsets the higher price.

How to Use:
Enter annual gallons, price difference, and estimated annual savings from maintenance, downtime, labor, or consumption reductions.

Downtime Reduction Value Calculator

Purpose:
Estimate the value of reducing downtime, service events, or maintenance interruptions.

When to Use:
Use this for fleets, industrial plants, construction equipment, manufacturing lines, or any application where downtime has measurable cost.

How to Use:
Enter the number of events reduced, hours saved per event, and estimated downtime cost per hour.

Consumption Reduction Calculator

Purpose:
Estimate savings from reduced lubricant consumption, top-off rates, leakage, volatility loss, or extended service life.

When to Use:
Use this when a proposed product may reduce oil usage, top-offs, waste handling, or total gallons consumed.

How to Use:
Enter current annual consumption, expected reduction, lubricant cost, and disposal or handling cost.
