A step-by-step framework to evaluate the true cost and return of integrating automated or mechanical parking into your project.

6 Steps · Live Calculation

Inputs update the running totals and final analysis instantly. Default values reflect a typical 150-space project — clear them and enter your own.

1

Your base case parking infrastructure

Start with the cost of building parking as currently shown in your plans — before any automated system.

Base case cost $0
2

Add the AutoMotion system cost

Enter the cost of the automated or mechanical system — equipment, installation, and commissioning.

Base cost + System cost = Gross project cost
Gross project cost $0
3

Subtract hard costs you eliminate

With automation, many conventional costs may disappear — excavation, ramps, ventilation, lighting, or HVAC. Add each line item.

Total hard cost savings $0
4

Compare annual operating expenses

Compare annual operating costs between conventional parking and automated parking.

Conventional parking

Total / year $0

Automated parking

Total / year $0
Annual OpEx savings $0
5

Added NOI from new uses

Freed-up space can convert to revenue — retail, storage, amenities, or additional units. Enter the new income and buildout cost.

Added annual NOI $0
Buildout cost $0
6

Final analysis

Enter cap rate and hold period. The calculator estimates total return from net cost, OpEx savings, and new-use income.

OpEx savings + Added NOI = Total annual benefit
Total benefit ÷ Cap rate = Terminal valuation
Terminal value ÷ Total investment = ROI
