Lack of financial information results in planning difficulties and may delay the introduction of simulator based education. We collected data from an existing simulation centre and describe a construction and operating budget to facilitate planning and construction for interested institutions. ⋯ Substantial resources are required for the construction of a simulation centre ($665,000) primarily use of capital equipment purchases. However, there is also a considerable operating cost per year ($167,250) which consists mostly of salary support.
