Stop guessing and start measuring.
This free calculator shows whether a subscription tool will “save you money or drain your budget” — before you hand over your credit card.
How to use it
1. “Pick a currency” and billing cycle (monthly or annual).
2. Enter the “number of seats” and the “price per seat”.
3. Add the “average hourly wage” of the people who’ll use the tool.
4. Estimate the “hours it saves each user every month”.
5. Hit “Calculate” and scroll for your results + chart.
What the results mean
| Metric | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Annual savings | The raw cash you’ll keep over 12 months after paying for the tool. |
| Break-even | How long does it take before the tool “pays for itself”? The shorter, the better. |
| ROI % | Profitability in plain numbers. Anything above 0 % means a positive return. |
