Solvent Recycling ROI Calculator

Estimate how much money you can save annually by recycling solvents, then see payback and a model fit for your volume.

01
Economics

Your solvent costs

Add each solvent you buy. Results update as you type. Disposal can be left blank (we assume 50% of purchase cost). Estimates only.

Try an example:

Inputs

Include tax, delivery, and drum fees in $/gal when you can.

$

Optional. If blank, 50% of monthly solvent purchase cost is used.

$

Optional. Enter a quote or budget for payback and net cash over 5 years.

Approximate estimate based on your inputs. Assumes roughly 90% recovery of purchase and disposal costs. Operating costs (power, consumables) are typically small compared with solvent savings. How we think about payback.

How the estimate works

Sum solvent lines

Each solvent's monthly gallons × $/gal, then × 12.

Add disposal

Your monthly disposal cost × 12, or 50% of purchase cost if blank.

Savings and horizon

~90% of combined costs is recoverable. Payback uses equipment cost; the chart stacks savings over 5 years.

Most B/R recyclers pay for themselves in 1 to 3 years. After payback, each batch is essentially free solvent. Model suggestions use monthly volume ÷ 20 work days vs batch capacity. Final sizing should be confirmed with our team.
