repair receipt

Decide Repair or Replace on Medical Equipment — Free

Paste the repair quote, the equipment's age and a replacement price, and read the break-even point in months.

The proof surface

Instinct says replace when repairs repeat; arithmetic says otherwise when a $180 repair buys nineteen months. The receipt prices both directions from the reader's own numbers.

Inputthe repair quote, replacement price and what keeping the unit working is worth monthly

Rare devicecomputes the repair-versus-replace break-even from the reader's own quote and usage, not from a rule of thumb

Sample, not your facts: Sample: repair $180, replacement $1,450 with two-year warranty, unit six years old, loan option $22 a month — four concrete points across four types.

Why the flat version breaks

Repair on principle

A third repair in a year is usually a signal, but the receipt exists to check that with figures rather than assume it in either direction.

Replacement without funding evidence

Funders ask for the comparison between repair and replacement, and a receipt-style document is what their form expects.

Ignoring hire and interim costs

Hire, loan equipment and interim measures are real monthly figures, and they belong in the break-even rather than outside it.

How to work the repair receipt

List the options

Repair quote, replacement price, hire or loan cost per line.

Enter repair cost and monthly value

The two figures that produce the break-even month count.

Read the tear-off foot

Break-even is printed on the foot, with the month-by-month position above.

Decide or apply

Repair where the break-even beats the replacement's warranty, or apply for funding with the comparison attached.

What the receipt replaces

Question	Before	On the receipt
Repair or replace	instinct and advice	break-even months from your own figures
What to tell the funder	a letter explaining	the comparison with both costs shown
What a repeat repair means	start again from scratch	month-by-month position for each option

The receipt prices the options you list; it does not know your equipment's condition or your clinical needs.

FIRST-LOAD

Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the repair receipt: your quotes and equipment notes stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.

Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a till receipt with a tear-off foot

The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the ready-to-mail packet, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 7 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.

The receipt and the break-even are free. The paid layer prints the comparison for a funding application or insurer claim.

Boundary

This repair receipt works only on the repair quotes and equipment notes you paste you paste. It does not assess equipment safety, does not give clinical advice, and does not order equipment for you. The figures describe what you supplied, not what is true in the world. Confirm anything you plan to act on with your equipment technician and, for funded items, the funding body's assessor before you rely on it.

What this is built on

Every figure comes from the repair quotes and equipment notes you paste you paste; nothing is looked up, scraped or asserted as verified.
Method: break-even months = repair cost ÷ monthly value of keeping the unit working, compared with the replacement price
Sample values are labelled samples — illustrative by design, not your data and not a quotation of any organisation's policy.

Before: the reader replaced on instinct. After: they can see a $180 repair buying nineteen months against a $1,450 replacement.
