Total cost of ownership

The price a vendor quotes is rarely what a technology costs to own. Setup, training, staff time, integration, and the retrieval of your data at the end are usually the larger share. Enter what you can estimate for your strategy pitch across a planning horizon, and the tool returns the real total and shows the headline subscription as a fraction of it. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere; the numbers live in this tab.

The cost table needs JavaScript. The arithmetic works on paper: list every cost line, total the one-time costs, multiply the per-year costs by the number of years you are planning for, and add the two figures together. The strategy pitch page lists the cost lines this tool starts from.

Every line is optional, so enter what you can estimate and leave the rest blank, and a line with an amount but no name still counts toward the total. Amounts are whole US dollars of zero or more.
