  Total cost of ownership - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a financial estimate designed to help consumers and enterprise managers assess direct and indirect costs as well as benefits related to the purchase of any capital investment, such as (but not limited to) computer software or hardware.
The expression and analysis of TCO is compared to the total benefits of ownership (TBO) to determine the viability of the purchase.

The existing employee ownership plans may seem too costly or complex, or their employees may be too impermanent, or their financial positions too uncertain to justify an employee ownership plan.
Employee ownership companies, however, must pay closer attention to the legal mechanics of ownership, because there are more people involved in ownership and the allocation of rights between different owners is more complicated.
Ownership in these companies could be shares by extending partnership to additional employees or by giving employees an option to purchase a partnership interest at a price fixed today for a number of years into the future.

 FPA Journal - The Benefits of Private Split-Dollar Ownership of Variable Life Insurance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
By properly structuring private split-dollar ownership of a variable life insurance policy, it is possible to obtain the tax-free investment and asset protection benefits, while minimizing the estate tax consequences and the costs of the policy.
Therefore, the death benefit payable to the residual owner (that is, the death benefit in excess of the cash value) is not included in the estate of the second equity owner to die (even though the equity owners are the insureds).
Through private split-dollar ownership of a variable life insurance policy, it is possible to create an income-tax-free equity mutual fund that is protected from creditors without the adverse estate tax consequences and policy costs generally associated with individual ownership of a variable life insurance policy.

Though total cost of ownership has received lots of attention in recent years, that framework focuses on costs—development, hardware, networks, software, and support—rather than value.
The expected benefit of each is represented by its value, including benefits identified through information economic analyses and the potential value of the most likely strategic options associated with the project.
