per hour non profit operation cost

I'm trying to figure out what the real cost per hour are if I borrow a friends BO-105, when that friend wouldn't want to charge me for (price_new - end-of-life-hull-value)/hours-operated, like a commercial renter would have to.

To be more precise lets assume:
- he doesn't want to make a living from renting it
- he's got to pay for the replacement rig at end of life, just as if I've never flow it
- I'd like to compensate him for the time I (ab)used his aircraft.
- there's no pilot to be paid

Example:
Between two turbine overhauls he'd be 50% in the air and I the other 50%. Assuming 3000h between overhaul with overhaul cost being 30kEUR the hour would go at 10EUR. Adding to that the cost per hour of anything that requires periodic maintenance, plus the "typical" ??EUR fuel per hour, etc.etc.
your got the picture?

Is there any public source where one could find and compare these "pure-operation-cost"?
Preferrably for S300, B206, BO105, A109,EC135 to name a few.

I know that a HEMS flight starts at 2500EUR per hour, but in that case one is covering a pilot and medical crew, the gas, their standby wages and the operators desired revenue etc. in that rate.

Maybe that question is stupid, I just wanted to arrive at a fair "rental fee" among buddies, w/o him sponsoring me or the other way round.

It there an industry term for that type of hourly cost?
