    PERSONAL COST CALCULATOR  by
    The CILA's computer costing program, developed for us by KPMG, provides precise hourly equipment and truck operating costs based on your own records.

    The Costing Template Package.. your PERSONAL COST CALCULATOR includes;

    A diskette containing a two-part Microsoft Excel template that will help you calculate:

    A) hourly rates for your logging equipment
    B) cost of a multi-phase logging operation, including sub-contracting

    A step-by-step guide to help you plug in the numbers for cost items such as labour, fuel price and consumption, finance charges, insurance costs, mechanic and repair, etc., that are required to arrive at precise cost-per-hour data for equipment. The guide for the multi-phase logging program helps you plug in data on road and landing development, falling, processing, bucking, skidding, yarding, loading and trucking, to give you accurate cost information.
