Track every subscription fee, seat, and usage line. Apply discounts, taxes, and annual uplift assumptions. Export clean reports to share with finance teams fast.
seat_cost = seat_price × users
usage_cost = usage_rate × usage_units
line_monthly = seat_cost + add_ons + usage_cost
monthly_subtotal = Σ(line_monthly)
annual_subtotal = monthly_subtotal × 12
annual_after = annual_subtotal × (1 − annual_discount%)
tax = taxable_amount × sales_tax%
term_total = term_subtotal + term_tax + one_time_fees
| Scenario | Seats | Seat price | Add-ons | Usage | Tax | Term | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter team stack | 10 | $29/mo | $50/mo | 5,000 × $0.02 | 8% | 12 mo | $4,276.80 |
| Growing team with uplift | 30 | $35/mo | $120/mo | 12,000 × $0.015 | 10% | 24 mo | $31,944.00 |
| Annual billing discount | 50 | $40/mo | $200/mo | 25,000 × $0.01 | 0% | 12 mo | $26,640.00 |
Subscription spend rarely equals the sticker price. Seats, add-ons, and usage each create a distinct cost lane. This calculator separates those lanes so teams can see what is fixed, what scales with headcount, and what varies with activity. Capturing costs by line item also helps identify duplicate tools, overlapping features, and shadow renewals before they hit procurement. Using consistent names across tools improves reporting and simplifies chargebacks.
Most SaaS budgets change because people change. When you enter users per tool, you can compute an effective per-user monthly cost across the entire contract. Pair this with a realistic ramp plan: onboarding waves increase seats, while churn or role changes reduce them. Add uplift to reflect renewals, and use term months to see how timing changes the average. For teams planning hiring, enter multiple line items to represent departments with different seat prices.
Modern platforms often bill for events, credits, minutes, or gigabytes. Usage rates look small, yet the product of rate and units can dominate the bill in high-volume periods. Track peak months separately, then test scenarios by increasing usage units. If overages are likely, negotiate tiered pricing, pooled allowances, or hard caps and model both outcomes for risk. A small change in unit definition can materially shift forecasts.
Annual prepay discounts reduce subscription subtotal, but they may not apply to one-time services. Taxes and VAT can be charged on the discounted amount, on services, or on both, depending on jurisdiction. This tool applies a consistent tax rate for planning and benchmarking. Document assumptions in notes, including credits, grace periods, and proration rules, so later variance reviews stay factual. Separate one-time fees to protect budgets.
Once you know contract total and effective monthly run rate, convert the estimate into controls. Set an owner, renewal date, and usage alerts per line item. Review results quarterly, compare invoices to the modeled costs, and update seat counts and uplift assumptions. Export CSV for finance workflows, attach it to approval requests, and keep a printed snapshot for stakeholder alignment during renewals.
Add each tool or plan you pay for, plus major paid add-ons. If pricing differs by department, split into separate rows so seat counts and usage assumptions stay realistic.
When Annual billing is selected, the discount reduces the subscription subtotal for each 12‑month block. One‑time fees remain separate, so you can see operating spend versus implementation spend clearly.
Uplift increases subscription costs after each completed 12 months, compounding by year. Use it to model renewal increases or expected price changes across multi‑year contracts.
This calculator applies the same tax rate to subscription spending for planning. If your jurisdiction taxes services differently, enter taxable one‑time charges inside the subscription rows or adjust the rate to match policy.
Increase usage units to match a peak month and rerun the estimate. Compare the effective monthly result against your baseline, then decide whether to budget for peaks or negotiate pooled or capped usage.
Download CSV for spreadsheet review, budgeting, and chargebacks. Use the PDF print export for approvals, vendor conversations, and renewal packets, keeping assumptions and notes visible for stakeholders.
