Capital Expenditure Analysis

Data Center CAPEX Calculator

Calculate comprehensive construction costs with detailed breakdown of electrical, cooling, civil, and infrastructure components

Data Center CAPEX Calculator — capital expenditure breakdown for construction, electrical, cooling, and infrastructure

Building a data center is not a spreadsheet exercise — it's a bet worth millions where every wrong assumption compounds.

A 10 MW facility can swing between $80M and $200M+ depending on cooling architecture, redundancy tier, seismic zone, and dozens of other variables most cost models quietly ignore. This calculator won't replace a detailed engineering estimate — but it will give you a defensible starting point in under 60 seconds. Adjust IT load, pick your cooling strategy, set your redundancy level, and watch how each decision moves the total. Use it to sanity-check vendor quotes, benchmark across regions, or build a rough business case before the first shovel hits the ground.
