Default whats the math on mining bases?

My wife saw a bumper sticker that said "there are 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can do math and those who cant". She thought of me. I am ROTTEN at math.

Anyway, I have math problem for you. If I design a "Min1" mining base with one collector, and design a "Min2" with 2, and a "Min3" with 3.. then if I build a 1, retrofit to a 2, and retrofit to a 3... what is the length of time before paying off the investment?

I know its abit more expensive to retrofit but there is no destruction of materials, and even though the maintenance goes up on the unit being retrofitted it is still more than the unit is bringing in since the initial mining collector is still working while the new one is being repaired.
