Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) is the aviation industry’s most comprehensive cost estimation solution. The web-based, mobile-friendly calculator uses real-world data to help users instantly evaluate the operating costs for one aircraft or compare the costs of operating multiple aircraft, including jets, piston aircraft, turboprop aircraft, and helicopters.


Find Airframe Details & Calculate Aircraft Expenses

ACC has real-world data for more than 500 airframes as well as variable, fixed, and long-term expense analysis. Users can view customizable depreciation schedules, charter revenue projections, and much more. ACC’s operating cost estimates consider actual utilization levels, financing, capital costs, residual values, lease payments, and factor in any offsetting charter revenue to provide a comprehensive view of costs.


Compare Aircraft Costs, Generate Reports & Much More

To help users navigate the site and its many features, Aircraft Cost Calculator provides a how-to page that guides subscribers step-by-step through the process of searching, requesting reports, comparing aircraft, using range maps, and estimating trip costs. To access the how-to page, click the How To Use ACC link at the top of any page on the site.


The instructions on the How To Use Aircraft Cost Calculator page can, for example, show users how to tweak parameters such as cargo weight and the number of passengers to determine their impact on a selected aircraft’s range. The page also explains how to add legs to a trip using the Trip Calculator to view the resulting cost differences, and much more.
