Questions
Frequently asked
- How is the in-house cost worked out?
- Salary plus extra monthly costs for each IT person, for 12 months, plus the one-off hiring cost and a yearly budget for tools and training.
- Are the numbers real prices?
- No. The numbers filled in are examples. Enter your own salaries and the managed IT quotes you have, in your currency.
- Is one IT person enough?
- For many small teams, one person can cover day-to-day support, but not holidays, sick days or every specialist skill. That gap is where a managed partner helps, alone or alongside your own IT person.
- Is anything I enter saved?
- No. The calculator runs in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you ask us for a quote.
