Is this calculator only for UL certified panels?

No. This calculator can be used for general industrial control panel builds. If your project requires UL 508A certification, PennAir can review that as part of the quoting process.

Is the estimate a final price?

No. The estimate is for budgeting purposes only. A formal quote requires review by PennAir’s sales and engineering team.

What information do I need to use the calculator?

You will need basic information such as the number of enclosure cutouts, knockouts, sub-panel holes, mounted devices, conductors, and the enclosure material type.

What if I do not know all the quantities?

Enter your best estimate and include any questions or notes in the comment box. PennAir can review the information and help determine what else may be needed.

Why could my final quote be different from the estimate?

Final pricing can change based on enclosure size, components, wiring complexity, layout, drawings, labeling, testing, documentation, lead time, material availability, and certification requirements.

Can PennAir help if I already have drawings?

Yes. If you already have drawings, schematics, or a bill of materials, send them to PennAir for review.

Can this be used for repeat panel builds?

Yes. If you need multiple panels or repeat production support, PennAir can review the project and help determine the best quoting approach.

Need an industrial control panel but not sure where to start with budget?

Use this calculator to get a general cost range based on the type of panel you need, the complexity of the build, the enclosure, components, wiring, testing, and certification requirements.

This estimate is not a final quote, but it can help you plan your project, prepare internally, and start a more productive conversation with PennAir’s automation team.

A simple way to start planning your panel build

Control panel pricing can vary depending on the scope of the project, the components required, the complexity of the wiring, and the amount of enclosure and sub-panel preparation involved.

This estimator keeps the process simple.

Enter the details you know, review your budgetary estimate, and choose whether you would like to send the information to PennAir for review.

You can use this calculator for:

Custom control panels
Industrial control panels
Machine control panels
Replacement panels
Sub-panel preparation
Repeat panel builds
Panels that may require UL 508A certification

You do not need every detail finalized to begin. If you are unsure about something, enter your best estimate and include any notes in the comment box.

Estimate Your Control Panel Cost

Use the calculator below to enter your project details.

The estimate is based on the information provided and is intended for budgeting purposes only. Final pricing may vary after our team reviews your full project scope, drawings, component requirements, timeline, and any certification needs.

Step 1 of 2

Knockouts and Cutouts

Use this section to identify any openings needed on the enclosure for mounted devices, conduit, fittings, or access points.

Qty of Enclosure Cut Outs:

Enter the number of custom openings that need to be cut into the enclosure.

Qty of Knockouts on Enclosure:

Enter the number of standard knockouts needed for conduit, fittings, or other enclosure connections.

Steel Choice:

Select the enclosure material required for this build.

Sub-Panel

Use this section to identify mounting, drilling, tapping, DIN rail, wire way, device, and conductor requirements for the internal sub-panel.

Qty of Holes to be Drilled and Tapped for Devices, DIN Rail and Wire Way:

Enter the total number of drilled and tapped holes needed for mounting devices, DIN rail, and wire way.

Qty of Devices:

Enter the total number of components that will be mounted to the sub-panel.

Qty of Conductors:

Enter the total number of wires or conductors that will need to be routed or terminated.

What this estimate is based on

The calculator uses basic panel build inputs to create a budgetary estimate.

These may include:

Enclosure cutouts
Knockouts for conduit, fittings, or enclosure connections
Enclosure material selection
Sub-panel drilling and tapping
Mounted device quantity
Conductor quantity
General preparation and assembly requirements

These details help create a starting point, but they do not replace a formal quote.

This is a planning estimate, not a final quote

Your estimate is meant to help with early budgeting and project planning.

Final pricing is subject to review by PennAir’s sales and engineering team. Actual cost may change based on enclosure size, component selection, panel layout, wiring complexity, drawings, labeling, testing, documentation, lead time, material availability, and certification requirements.

For the most accurate quote, send us your drawings, schematics, bill of materials, enclosure requirements, or any available project notes.

Request a Formal Quote

Already have drawings or specs?

Send them to PennAir for review.

Drawings, schematics, bills of material, component lists, enclosure requirements, and project notes can all help our team provide a more accurate quote.

If you are missing information, that is okay. We can help identify what is needed before the project moves forward.

Send Drawings or Specs

Does your panel need UL 508A certification?

Not every control panel requires UL 508A certification, but some applications do.

If your project requires a UL certified panel, PennAir’s Manufacturer Technical Representative (MTR) helps review the requirements and determine what is needed for the build, documentation, labeling, and certification process.
