How the welding cost calculator works

Know your true cost per inch

This welding cost calculator compares manual MIG welding against cobot welding on a per-inch basis — factoring in labor rate, travel speed, arc-on time, deposition rate, and rework. Adjust the sliders to match your operation and get an instant comparison.

How it works

Plug in your current welding parameters. We’ll show you the cost difference.

Here’s how the cobot ROI calculator works:

  1. Enter your material and labor costs — gas, wire, and hourly rate
  2. Set your manual welding parameters — travel speed, arc-on time, deposition rate, and rework
  3. See the side-by-side comparison — cost per inch, cost per foot, throughput, and annual savings
