Free Software Switch & Save Calculator

Compare current software with an alternative over 1–5 years, including seats, monthly or annual billing, migration cost, savings and payback. Free.

Quick answer

A software switch-and-save calculator compares the total cost of staying with a current tool against moving to an alternative over the same time horizon, including migration and implementation cost.

Formula

Modeled savings = current-tool cost over horizon − (alternative-tool cost over horizon + one-time switching cost)

Example

If the current tool costs $60,000 over three years, the replacement costs $42,000, and migration costs $6,000, modeled savings are 2,000.

How to interpret it

Add training, contract overlap, integration work, data migration, and productivity disruption when material. Sticker-price savings alone can overstate the business case.
