Software cost comparison

Put your assumptions
against the investment.

Compare the cost of any system you are assessing with the way you work now. Enter what recovered time and retired costs could be worth to your business, then see the monthly balance, first-year return and setup payback.

It is a general comparison, not a quote: use a price from any vendor, or test a system you already run. This is your scenario, not a forecast of OrdexisOne performance. No plan price or expected saving is assumed.

A free standalone tool. No account, no sign-up, and nothing you enter here is sent anywhere.

Build your scenario.

All fields are required. Enter zero where a value does not apply. Currency changes the display only; it does not convert amounts.

Time you expect to recover

Time becomes a financial benefit only when costs fall or additional work contributes value after its delivery costs. Use that net value, then reduce the percentage for time you cannot turn into a financial benefit. Do not also count the same saving under retired costs.

Costs you expect to retire

Include only costs you expect to stop paying, such as a replaced subscription. Keep any continuing costs out of this amount.

The system you are comparing

Enter the total cost of the system you are comparing, from any vendor or quote. Include implementation, migration and training costs, and any additional recurring costs needed for this scenario.

How the numbers work

Every result has
a visible basis.

The calculation uses a simple, undiscounted return on investment. It does not model taxes, inflation, benefit growth, financing or a rollout delay.

Monthly time value
People × weekly hours × working weeks ÷ 12 × net hourly value × realization percentage. Working weeks spread the annual benefit across all twelve months.
Net benefit and ROI
Monthly benefit adds realizable time value to retired costs. Subtract ongoing costs for the monthly balance. First-year net benefit also deducts setup. First-year ROI is that net benefit divided by first-year total cost, multiplied by 100. With no cost, the percentage is undefined.
Simple setup payback
Setup cost divided by positive monthly net benefit. This assumes the monthly benefit starts immediately and is spread evenly. Zero or negative monthly net benefit cannot recover a positive setup cost.

Compare the numbers before the shortlist.

Run the same scenario for each system you are considering, including the cost of carrying on as you are. The comparison reaches its own conclusion without a purchase.
