Annual upkeep budget

Security Maintenance Cost Calculator

An AMC is what keeps life-safety & security gear actually working — skipping it is why systems fail on the night they are needed. Enter your system’s installed value, an AMC percentage, a yearly battery reserve and a consumables budget, add GST, and get an indicative annual maintenance cost with its per-month equivalent. Planning figures; runs in your browser.

Indicative annual budget only — not a quotation. AMC pricing, GST and battery life vary by system, brand and contract. Read what the AMC actually covers — number of preventive visits, which parts are included, and the response time — then get 2–3 quotes before you budget.
