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 × €/h
  • Groups’ 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 × €/h
  • Avoided overruns

    Proactive risk identification moves the moment a deviation is noticed earlier, so there is time to react.

    projects × budget × overrun % × avoided share
  • Licences

    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.
