When you install any industrial job - manufacturing or science - you need to pay an installation cost. This installation cost is calculated per system, and is dynamic, being based on how many other people have been using that system for manufacturing over the last 28 days (measured in job-hours, not # of jobs or # of people). | When you install any industrial job - manufacturing or science - you need to pay an installation cost.

The system cost index is calculated by the number of system-job-hours, divided by total-universe-job-hours, and then square rooted for better numbers. This value (measured as a percentage, generally in the 0.01% to 5% range) is then multipled by the job base value, which is: | [[File:System cost index.png|right]]The system cost index is calculated by the number of system-job-hours, divided by total-universe-job-hours, and then square rooted for better numbers.

NPC stations have a 10% tax on top of this final value. | |||
{{example|1=For example, if we build the [[Rifter]] from the earlier screenshot, it has an estimated input value of 470,000 ISK. If my hi-sec manufacturing system had 0.085% of the universe manufacturing activity, then the installation cost would be 470,000 x 0.085% x 10% tax = 439 ISK installation cost.}} | {{example|1=For example, if we build the [[Rifter]] from the earlier screenshot, it has an estimated input value of 470,000 ISK.
