BLS OEWS May 2025 national median hourly wage, SOC 00-0000.

Wages and salaries were 70.0% of total employer compensation cost for private industry workers in June 2026 (ECEC), so total cost = wage / 0.70.

Nominal 4.4% a year, 2015-2025 (ILOSTAT hourly earnings).

Robot
Varsayım

Robot units per hour relative to a person.

Varsayım

Robot price. Replace with a quote.

Varsayım

Lease per robot-month.

Varsayım

RaaS per robot-month.

Varsayım

Integration. In factories this is often 1-3x the robot price.

Varsayım

Yearly maintenance share of price.

Varsayım

Useful life in years.

Varsayım

Availability.

Varsayım

Work lost to faults.

Varsayım

Work that stays human.

Varsayım

Varsayım

Finansman
Varsayım

Annual financing / discount rate. Nobody publishes yours; 8% is a round mid-2026 commercial borrowing guess.

Cost per unit to 2035

Real terms (today's money). Robot hardware follows Wright's law; wages follow each country's history. Shaded band: robots-slow to robots-fast scenarios. Whirrwork model tahminleridir, kesin bilgi değildir.

What the spreadsheet misses

Güvenlik
Dull, dirty and dangerous tasks are where robots most often pay off beyond cost.
Kalite
Robots repeat; people adapt.
Esneklik
The more the job changes week to week, the more a person is worth.
Edge cases
List the exceptions before you buy; they are usually the expensive part.
Customer experience
Ask customers, not vendors.
Jobs and redeployment
Plan redeployment and training first; it decides whether staff help or hinder.
Mevzuat
Machinery, privacy and sector rules vary by country.
