Project Delay Cost Calculator
Every extra day a site runs burns overhead — supervision, rentals, establishment.
How to use it — and why it matters
A delayed project keeps burning overhead — supervision salaries, equipment rentals, site establishment — long after the revenue is booked. That daily burn, not the headline penalty, is what quietly erodes margin. This calculator turns your monthly site running cost into a per-day burn and totals it across the delay.
What should 'monthly site running cost' include?
The overhead that continues whether or not work progresses: site engineers and supervisors, rentals, establishment, security and site office costs. Exclude material and direct labour tied to actual work.
Does this include liquidated damages?
No — this sizes the overhead burn, which applies to almost every delay. LDs and reputational cost are on top, and are project-specific.
