ERP Calculator – Estimate Costs & ROI

Our ERP calculator tool will help you estimate the total cost of implementing an ERP system for your business.

ERP Calculator Instructions

The ERP Calculator is designed to help you estimate the cost of implementing an ERP system based on various parameters. Here is how it works:

  • Total Users: Enter the number of users who will be using the ERP system.
  • Number of Modules: Enter the number of modules you plan to use.
  • Customization Level: Select a customization level from 1 to 10, where 1 is minimal customization and 10 is extensive customization.
  • Cloud-Based: Enter ‘yes’ if the ERP will be cloud-based, and ‘no’ otherwise.
  • Support Package: Enter the level of support package you want: ‘basic’, ‘premium’, or ‘none’ for no support.

Calculation Method

The total cost is calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost = (Base Cost + (Total Users * $25) + (Number of Modules * $100) + (Customization Level * $1000)) * Cloud Multiplier * Support Multiplier

  • Base Cost is fixed at $5000.
  • Each user adds $25 to the cost.
  • Each module adds $100 to the cost.
  • Customization level adds $1000 per level.
  • Cloud Multiplier is 1.2 if cloud-based, otherwise 1.0.
  • Support Multiplier is 1.1 for basic, 1.25 for premium, and 1.0 for none.

Limitations

This calculator provides an estimate based on typical parameters. Actual costs may vary based on additional factors not considered here, such as specific vendor pricing, additional implementation services, and hidden fees. Always consult with an ERP provider for a precise quote.
