Are the calculator results quotations?

No. They are estimates calculated from the figures you enter. Request supplier and contractor quotations before making a purchase or investment decision.

Why are there no default market prices?

Prices can change by unit, condition, source, location, exchange rates and scope. Enter a current quote so the result reflects the decision you are actually considering.

What should be included in total investment?

Include the container, repairs, conversion, transport, crane, foundations, utilities, professional services, approvals, equipment, opening stock and contingency where relevant.

How should I choose occupancy or utilisation?

Use evidence from the intended market and test a conservative, expected and strong scenario. A single optimistic percentage can hide the real risk.

Does payback include financing and tax?

Only if those costs are included in your inputs. Read the caution shown beside each calculator and add every material cost to the relevant assumption.

ROI is an estimate based only on the numbers entered. It excludes financing, tax, depreciation and changes in demand unless you include them.

What you can test

Use the right tool for the decision

Return and payback

Container ROI, shop, hostel and rental income scenarios.

Compare alternatives

Container vs traditional building, 20ft vs 40ft and buy vs rent.

Plan the site

Land income and theoretical container capacity.

Build the full cost

Delivery estimate and container-home budget organisation.

Build three scenarios, not one promise

A conservative case shows whether the project can survive weaker income or higher costs. The expected case is the working plan. The strong case shows the upside without treating it as guaranteed.

Conservative

Lower revenue or occupancy, higher costs and more contingency.

Expected

Evidence-based income, complete costs and normal operating conditions.

Strong

Higher utilisation or margin without removing necessary expenses.

Turn results into a better quotation

The tools become more useful when every assumption comes from a named line in a supplier quote, a measured plan or researched operating figure.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before you decide

Clear answers to the questions that usually come up before a container project moves forward.

Next step
