Calculator

What will a piano cost you over 10 years?

This calculator adds up everything a piano costs over the years you use it — the purchase price, accessories, delivery and setup, monthly fees and yearly upkeep — and subtracts what you might sell it for at the end. You can put up to three options side by side: a new model, a used one, a rental or something else.

Only the model price comes from our data, when you pick a model. Every other figure is yours to enter: a store quote, your municipality's bulky-waste fee, a rental contract. We do not pre-fill market prices we have not checked.

How to read this

  • The result is only as good as the figures you enter. Empty fields count as 0, and the result lists which ones are still empty.
  • It compares money only. It says nothing about sound or touch.

Option A

Picking a model puts the price shown on this site into the purchase price field.

The price you are quoted. Picking a model fills in the price shown on this site.

Stand, pedal, bench, headphones — add up only what is not included.

Ask the store for a quote. Stairs or difficult access can cost extra.

For a rental or instalment plan: the monthly amount in the contract.

Costs that come back every year, such as tuning an acoustic piano. Leave empty if none.

1 to 30 years. Starts at 10.

What you might get when you sell it. Leave empty if you do not know. It is subtracted from the total.

The cost of getting rid of it: your municipality's bulky-waste fee or a store's take-back fee.
