ERP & Business Software Calculators
Free tools for every ERP decision — ERP ROI calculator, ERP TCO calculator, software license cost calculator, IT downtime cost calculator, cloud vs on-premises calculator, and cost per user calculator.
ERP ROI Calculator
Estimate the return on an ERP project from its annual benefit, total investment, and horizon — cumulative benefit, net benefit, ROI percentage, and payback period in months
ERP TCO Calculator
Add licence, implementation, and training costs to recurring annual maintenance across your ownership horizon to see the total cost of ownership and the average cost per year
Software License Cost Calculator
Price a per-seat SaaS or ERP subscription from the cost per user per month, the number of users, and the term — plus any one-off setup fee — as monthly, subscription, and all-in totals
IT Downtime Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of an outage from revenue per hour, downtime duration, the share of productivity lost, and any recovery cost — the revenue/productivity loss and total incident cost
Cloud vs On-Premises Cost Calculator
Compare on-premises upfront plus annual operating cost against a flat monthly cloud fee over your horizon to see each total, which is cheaper, and by how much
Cost Per User Calculator
Divide a total software or ERP cost across your users to see the cost per user, and with a term the cost per user per month — benchmark per-seat spend against list prices
Business & Computing Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the ideas and machines that shape the way we run a business — from the mainframes and early MRP systems that began it all to the rise of the ERP suite, the move to cloud and SaaS, and the databases, networks, and enterprise software behind modern operations, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind enterprise computing: how each idea came to be, what makes it matter, and the role it plays in how organisations plan, produce, and grow.

Fresh guides on ERP systems, implementation and integration, cloud ERP, vendor selection and reviews, and cost optimization, plus practical advice for evaluating, budgeting, rolling out, and getting value from business software.
