Frequently Asked Questions
Software Pain Calculator
Calculator & Next Steps
What is the software pain calculator?
An interactive tool to quantify the 'pain' of your legacy software: downtime, training effort, manual workarounds, and error costs are combined into an annual sum in euros. The result shows your concrete pressure to act – for fact-focused and detail-oriented decision-makers.
Which costs are included?
Downtime (hours × cost per hour), training effort (days × cost per day), manual workarounds and rework (hours per month × hourly rate × 12), and errors/incidents (count × average cost). All figures are estimates; we can perform a detailed analysis in an initial consultation.
What do 'red' and 'blue' type mean?
Red type: Decision-makers who focus on clear numbers and facts – the annual pain figure in euros is the central pressure to act. Blue type: Decision-makers who prioritize structure and risk – the breakdown by category and traceability of line items make the pressure to act visible.
What happens after using the calculator?
You can request a free pain analysis via the contact form. We review with you where the biggest levers are and how modernization or optimization pays off – including connection to our ROI calculator for modernization.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| 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.
