How to calculate maintenance reserve
This calculator finds how many maintenance reserve units are needed by dividing the required amount by the capacity per unit, rounded up.
How the calculation works
Units needed = ceil(Required amount ÷ Capacity per unit).
Example
A $45,000 reserve target, saved in increments of $5,000 per unit/period: ceil(45,000 ÷ 5,000) = 9 units/periods.
