Examples

Crab pot set

$25,000 gear; 60-trip life; 20 trips/year

Calculation

  1. Per trip: $25,000 ÷ 60 = $416.67
  2. Annual: $416.67 × 20 = $8,333

$417/trip — $8,333/year

Salmon net

$8,500 net; 30-trip life; 12 trips/year

Calculation

  1. Per trip: $8,500 ÷ 30 = $283
  2. Annual: $283 × 12 = $3,400

$283/trip — $3,400/year

Assumptions & Conventions

Straight-line basis
Replacement cost is spread evenly across the entered trip life; actual wear and failure timing vary.
