✦ Budget an IT refreshStep 1 of 1
List your asset groups — laptops, projectors, panels, switches — with quantity, unit cost, lifespan and current age. The planner works out the steady amount to set aside each year, and the lumpy reality: which years the big refreshes actually land, so a spike doesn't ambush the budget.

Life = expected years before replacement. Age = years owned so far. The schedule repeats each group's refresh on its own cycle across the next 8 years.
A planning model: it assumes each group is replaced in full at the end of its life and refreshes on a steady cycle. Real fleets stagger purchases, carry warranties, and resell or redeploy old kit — so treat the smoothed figure as the budget to defend and the year-by-year bars as the cash-flow warning.

About Asset Replacement Planner
Plan and budget a fleet of equipment over time — built for school and business IT, but works for any organisation replacing kit on a cycle. List your asset groups (laptops, projectors, interactive panels, desktops, switches…) with quantity, unit cost, expected lifespan and current age, and the planner works out the steady annual amount to set aside (the sinking-fund figure) plus a year-by-year replacement schedule that lays out the recurring refresh cycles, so the big spike years are visible well before they hit.
