Equine water treadmill ROI calculator

What a water treadmill actually pays back.

Live payback, profit and margin on an equine water treadmill — built on real UK yard session rates. Enter your quote and setup and read the return straight off the dial.

01 Your treadmill
?New FMBS treadmills are priced by enquiry — enter your quote. Verified second-hand units have listed at £42,450 and £55,000 all-in (delivery, installation, training). Default here is the £42,450 figure.
£
?One-off base/drainage, 3-phase supply and water plant. Not itemised by FMBS — adjust to your site. Set to £0 if installation is bundled into your quote (second-hand all-in prices include it).
£
02 Revenue & throughput
?Verified UK yard rates: single sessions £45–£50 (Sterling £50, Field Equine £50, Seven Mile £45, Yorkshire EC £48). Blocks reduce to ~£35–£45/session.

Estimate ?No published UK water-treadmill utilisation data — these are your assumptions: ~40% building a client base, 60% established rehab/performance yard, 80% at capacity. Treat as estimates.
60%
Estimate ?New chambers don't fill on day one. This is how long it takes to climb to your target occupancy — the reason real-world payback runs longer than the raw numbers suggest. Set to 0 for an instant, best-case view.

03 Running costs
?Combined running cost per session: water heating, electricity (3-phase), handler time and pro-rated servicing. No published FMBS figure — your estimate. £8–£20 is a sensible starting range.
£
?Yard overheads, utilities and marketing to keep the treadmill booked. Location-specific — override this placeholder for your site.
£
?Equine-business liability cover plus annual treadmill service contract. Budget roughly 2–4% of unit cost. Your figure.
£
?Straight-line over the treadmill's working life (10–15 years typical). UK AIA lets most businesses write off 100% in year one for tax — this field is for your P&L view, not the tax treatment.
