What does administrative work cost in your project portfolio?
Enter your organisation’s figures. The calculator shows the working hours saved, the benefit in euros and the payback time with the real ProjectBuddy licence prices.
Users
Management and PMO who follow the whole portfolio.
They can be invited without limit at no extra cost, so they add to the benefit but not to the costs.
Current use of time
Status reports, assembling the picture of the situation, moving data between systems.
ProjectBuddy promises at most 15 hours a week. Start with a moderate estimate and refine it after a pilot.
Salary including overheads, not the billing rate.
Project portfolio
Deviations noticed late, rework and wrongly prioritised initiatives.
Assumptions – change them if you know the exact figures
Status updates, meeting preparation and looking for information.
When a deviation and its risk are visible in time, part of the overrun can be prevented.
Your own working time for onboarding.
0Holidays and public holidays deducted.
How the calculator calculates
Three benefits, minus the real licence prices. The formulas are visible so the figures can be discussed with finance as well.
Project managers’ time
Reports and the picture of the situation are produced automatically instead of being assembled by hand.
project managers × saved h/week × work weeks × €/hGroups’ time
Project and steering groups see the situation themselves, so fewer update requests and less meeting preparation are needed.
members × h/week × saved % × work weeks × €/hAvoided overruns
Proactive risk identification moves the moment a deviation is noticed earlier, so there is time to react.
projects × budget × overrun % × avoided shareLicences
Enterprise 149 €/month per portfolio member and 100 €/month per project manager, about 20 % less with yearly billing. Project and steering-group members are free.
ROI = net benefit ÷ costs
The calculation is an indicative estimate, not an offer or a promise of results. The 15 h/week upper limit on time saved is ProjectBuddy’s own promise; the other assumptions are editable. The real benefit depends on your starting point and on how consistently the platform is used. We are happy to go through the figures with your own actuals.
