The overall message is spot on. Annual fees make up 75-80% of the contract cost. I calculated a little differently, Assuming an annual maintenance increase of 5% each year for OKW and 3.5% each year for BWV now through 2042. The annual increase will change some but going off the last 15 years that’s the average.
150 BWV $101.63 would be almost $4500 cheaper vs
150 OKW $67.00 over the rest of the contract life if starting with 2026 dues.
This is why it’s important to look at the total cost over the lifetime. We love BWV but I wanted to pay cash so OKW won out on this one.

Yeah, all things being equal the rational decision would be to take the option with the lowest cost. But other factors come into play so all things are rarely equal. Besides, each of us weights things a little differently.
