Use our online calculators to calculate the cost of hiring plant equipment. Our plant hire cost calculator considers working days, hire rates, transportation fees, and fuel costs.
Our plant hire calculators accurately estimate weekly or short-term self-drive hire rates over working days between two dates, excluding weekends and operator costs.
- Please note that our cost calculator does not account for public holidays.
- Some Plant Hire companies have a minimum of a week's hire or might apply a different rate for hire periods shorter than a week. For example: (1 day hire = 50% of the hire rate, 2 day hire = 75% of the hire rate and 3 days or more = 1 week)
Please see our rate guide for mini diggers covering micro to 5-tonne excavators and Tiger Plant’s comprehensive guide on the benefits of hiring plant versus buying.
To accurately estimate your equipment rental overheads throughout the hire period, please use our Plant Hire Calculator Series. Our calculators provide a comprehensive breakdown of your plant hire costs to help you forecast your overheads accurately.
Our cost calculator page includes various tools, such as the Fuel Usage Cost Calculator and the Operated Plant Hire Calculator.
