Cost Per Horsepower Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Cost Per Horsepower is:

\[ CPHP = \frac{TC}{HP} \]

Where:

$CPHP$ is the Cost Per Horsepower ($/hp)
$TC$ is the total cost ($)
$HP$ is the total horsepower (hp)

What is Cost Per Horsepower?

Cost Per Horsepower (CPHP) is a metric used to determine the cost efficiency of gaining horsepower in a vehicle or engine. It is calculated by dividing the total cost by the total horsepower gained. This metric helps in understanding the financial investment required for performance improvements.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost (TC) = $10,000
Total Horsepower (HP) = 200 hp

Using the formula:

\[ CPHP = \frac{10000}{200} = 50 \text{ dollars per hp} \]

The Cost Per Horsepower is $50 per hp.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost (TC) = $15,000
Total Horsepower (HP) = 300 hp

Using the formula:

\[ CPHP = \frac{15000}{300} = 50 \text{ dollars per hp} \]

The Cost Per Horsepower is $50 per hp.
