.NET modernization costs
The .NET Modernization cost calculator provides an immediate, non-binding cost range without requiring an email address or registration. It combines your project inputs with documented calculation rules and experience from more than 250 software projects.
Use the calculator right below for an instant first estimate – no sign-up and no fixed-price commitment. We align scope, risks, and assumptions in a conversation before a binding quote.
The calculation follows six visible stages. All figures remain planning values until scope and assumptions have been reviewed.
1. Capture inputs
The calculator records the visible project, volume, complexity and operating parameters selected on this page.
2. Add fixed components
Fixed base modules and selected add-ons are added without mixing them with recurring charges.
3. Apply multipliers
Quantity, complexity and scope factors multiply only the cost components identified for them in the calculator model.
4. Create the range
The calculator applies its documented lower and upper uncertainty factors to the base result; ROI views keep investment and savings visible separately.
5. Round and calibrate
Monetary result fields are rounded to the nearest whole euro. Public project-cost components are calibrated with the centrally maintained display factor.
6. Classify the result
The result is shown as non-binding guidance. A binding quote requires scope, data, integrations, risks and acceptance criteria to be reviewed.
Efficiency or discount factor: A central display factor of 0.7 is applied to public project-cost components to keep all calculators aligned with the currently reviewed pricing basis. It is not a customer-specific discount; customer-entered wages, revenues and existing operating costs are not reduced.
Why this is not a binding quote: The calculator cannot verify complete requirements, third-party dependencies, data quality, legal constraints or acceptance criteria.
Costs for .NET Modernization depend on scope, risk, and quality expectations. The calculator provides an initial range.

FAQ
A focused framework upgrade often starts EUR 14,280 – 310,111 excl.
VAT. Modularisation and cloud readiness increase analysis and refactoring effort.
An upgrade is enough when architecture and business logic are still sound and the main goals are support, security or deployment improvements.
When releases block each other, modules scale differently or changes regularly create unexpected side effects.
Create a .NET roadmap
We review the framework, dependencies and target operations model.
Automated tests make behaviour visible and reduce manual regression.
Without tests, a safety net must be built before larger changes.
Configuration, logging, health checks, containers, automated deployments and decoupled state are prepared for reproducible operations.
Modernization is delivered Made in Germany in Leer, East Frisia, in measurable stages with direct architecture and operations feedback.
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
The ranges shown are indicative. For a binding quote we discuss scope, priorities and funding options in a free intro call. Many digitalization projects qualify for grants – try our funding calculator.

What does a safe path to current .NET cost?
Interactive estimate based on your inputs.
Non-binding project range from the software cost calculator: EUR 10,332 – 372,623 excl. VAT.
Methodology: The estimates are based on historical project data, complexity drivers and standard implementation assumptions. Results are a non-binding indication only; effort and price must be calculated individually.
If you are still deciding
If you are ready to implement
A transparent four-step process for validating the .NET Modernization indication with concrete requirements.
1. Confirm scope and target outcome
We clarify the business outcome, user groups, and boundaries relevant to .NET Modernization.
2. Review data, interfaces, and risks
We validate integrations, data quality, security, compliance, and operational dependencies.
3. Check the calculator assumptions
We compare the selected parameters with the real system landscape and document deviations.
4. Prepare the precise quote
You receive a scoped proposal with milestones, exclusions, price model, and next decision point.
