Lease rate and maintenance cost: estimates for ownership and upkeep
If you do not enter your own rates, the calculator uses estimates from weight and seat count. These are parametric, not operator data: each one can be replaced in the calculation.

| Utilisation, flight hours per month | 300 |
| Ownership per flight hour (lease ÷ hours), EUR | 174 |
| Maintenance, EUR per flight hour | 563 |

Maintenance by year — US carriers' reports (Form 41)
Maintenance cost per block hour as reported by US carriers flying this type: direct (labour, materials, outside services) and full — with the maintenance department's overheads. Dollars of each year, not restated. 2020 stands above its neighbours: flying dropped, the fixed part of the cost stayed.
2024: direct USD 671, with overheads USD 653 per block hour, 1 carriers

USD k per month
— — calculator default (aircraft about 12 years old), in dollars of each year. The line is the lease the calculator uses without your own rates: EUR 52,000 a month as of October 2026 at 1.16 USD/EUR, restated in dollars of earlier years by the US CPI-U price index. It is an estimate for an aircraft about 12 years old; points of another age are not directly comparable.
The lease market is recovering after 2020: AerCap's fleet yield (lease rents ÷ average lease assets) was 11.4 % in 2019, bottomed at 9.6 % in 2021, 10.8 % in 2025 — not yet back to 2019.
