See what reactive, break-fix IT really costs once downtime is counted — and compare it with a proactive managed model over three years. Adjust every assumption to match your business; the numbers update instantly.
In-house staff, break-fix invoices, tools and licences combined.
Hours per month your team can't work due to IT issues.
Fully-loaded hourly cost of an employee who is blocked.
Industry-typical co-managed/fully-managed per-seat range. Your quote depends on scope.
Monitoring, patching and prevention typically cut unplanned downtime sharply.
Most teams of this size recover the cost of managed IT through avoided downtime and consolidated tooling. Want a quote tied to your real numbers?
Estimates for planning only — not a quote or financial advice. Results depend on the assumptions above; adjust them to match your environment.
The cheapest IT arrangement on paper is rarely the cheapest in practice. Break-fix support looks low-cost until an outage stops a team of people from working, a missed patch opens a security gap, or recurring issues quietly drain hours every week. A managed model trades unpredictable firefighting for a flat, planned cost plus prevention — which is why the right comparison is total cost of ownership, not the line on the invoice.
This calculator makes that trade-off explicit. It is deliberately transparent: the per-user rate and downtime-reduction figures are assumptions you control, not numbers we hide. Treat the output as a starting point for a conversation, then get a tailored estimate tied to your real environment.
Once the calculator frames the trade-off, these guides break down the actual numbers behind the inputs:
