Cost to own

As a sole owner

$1,933/mo$23,190/yr

≈ $232 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$119,000 to buy (the asking price)

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$119,000	$1,933/mo	$23,190/yr
1/2 share	$59,500	$1,466/mo	$17,595/yr
1/3 share	$39,667	$1,311/mo	$15,730/yr
1/4 share	$29,750	$1,233/mo	$14,798/yr

Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
