Compare Starlink hardware and monthly fees against fibre or 5G internet over the same ownership period.
Formula
const months = Math.max(1, inputs.comparison_months || 24); const starlink_total_cost = (inputs.starlink_hardware_cost || 0) + (inputs.starlink_monthly_fee || 0) * months; const alternative_total_cost = (inputs.alternative_setup_cost || 0) + (inputs.alternative_monthly_fee || 0) * months; const starlink_cost_difference = starlink_total_cost - alternative_total_cost; const starlink_cheaper_status = starlink_cost_difference <= 0 ? 1 : 0; return { starlink_total_cost: Math.round(starlink_total_cost), alternative_total_cost: Math.round(alternative_total_cost), starlink_cost_difference: Math.round(starlink_cost_difference), starlink_cheaper_status };Starlink Hardware / Setup Cost
