Parking ROI calculator
Enter your own operating assumptions to estimate how automation could change staffing, downtime and repair costs. Compare potential cost reductions and recovered revenue after additional monthly costs.
Calculate a scenario
Direct answer
Estimate net benefit from your site records.
This Lexoh calculator estimates a monthly net benefit and simple payback from your assumptions. It includes potential cost reductions, recovered revenue and additional operating costs. It is most useful when the inputs come from your own parking logs, invoices, incident records and staff observations.
It does not publish a Lexoh price, guarantee savings or replace engineering. The final comparison should include lanes, barriers, kiosks, readers, cameras, payment, civil work, network service, commissioning, training and ongoing support for the actual site.
SAVINGS COMPARISON
Compare your operating scenario.
Model potential cost reductions and recovered revenue, then subtract additional monthly costs. All amounts are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Intervention cost = incidents × hours per incident × hourly cost. Lost revenue = visits per day ÷ operating hours per day × lost operating hours per month × revenue per affected visit.
Monthly net benefit = (intervention cost + lost revenue + repair cost) × assumed reduction percentage − additional monthly costs. Annual net benefit = monthly net benefit × 12. Simple payback in months = initial investment ÷ positive monthly net benefit.
Traffic is assumed to be evenly distributed over the operating day, affected visits lose all entered revenue, and one reduction rate applies to the three baseline components. Avoid counting staff costs twice in repair invoices. Use representative monthly values; annual results assume the same activity for 12 months. No inflation, financing, tax, discount rate, resale value or full lifetime return is calculated. This is a simple-payback model, not a percentage ROI or a forecast.
Savings comparison only—not a system-cost calculator. Results are not a quote or a guaranteed outcome.
Use the result responsibly
Four steps to turn an estimate into a useful project brief.
Measure
Use a defined period of traffic, labour, incidents, downtime and repairs.
Model
Change assumptions to see which operating factors drive the result.
Scope
Add lane equipment, civil work, communications, payment and service responsibilities.
Validate
Review the complete site plan and a configuration-specific quote with the project team.
Questions and assumptions
Parking ROI calculator questions.
What does this parking ROI calculator measure?
It estimates net operating benefit and simple payback, rather than percentage ROI. The model includes traffic, operating hours, incident time, staff cost, lost revenue, repairs, a chosen reduction rate, added monthly costs and an initial project investment.
Is the result a quote for a parking system?
No. It is a planning comparison, not a quote or a universal benchmark. A project budget depends on lanes, civil work, retained equipment, payment, communications, commissioning, training and the service scope confirmed for the site.
How should I choose the inputs?
Use your own measured traffic, incident logs, staff time, hourly cost, downtime and repair records. Change one assumption at a time and keep a note of the period and sources used so the comparison can be reviewed by your project team.
Can the calculator compare gated and gateless parking?
It can help compare operating assumptions for different access models, but it does not decide which model is appropriate. Include patrols, payment compliance, exception handling, safety, accessibility and local policy in the project review.
What should I do after the estimate?
Bring the assumptions to a site review. Lexoh can map lanes, barriers, kiosks, readers, cameras, payments, software and support responsibilities before confirming a configuration and project quote.
