Estimate horizon cost, entered savings, net benefit, simple ROI, and payback for a supply chain software scenario.
Formula
const initialCost = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.initialSoftwareCost || 0)); const trainingCost = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.employeeTrainingCost || 0)); const recurringCost = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.annualRecurringCost || 0)); const annualSavings = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.enteredAnnualSavings || 0)); const years = Math.max(1, Number(inputs.analysisYears || 1)); const annualNetSavingsScenario = Math.round((annualSavings - recurringCost) * 100) / 100; const totalCostOverHorizon = Math.round((initialCost + trainingCost + recurringCost * years) * 100) / 100; const grossSavingsOverHorizon = Math.round((annualSavings * years) * 100) / 100; const netBenefitOverHorizon = Math.round((grossSavingsOverHorizon - totalCostOverHorizon) * 100) / 100; const simpleRoiPct = totalCostOverHorizon > 0 ?

Use the estimate to prepare a tracked insurance comparison request. The calculator result is not a quote.
With the default inputs, $150,000 of entered annual savings minus $40,000 of annual recurring cost produces $110,000 in annual net savings. Across 5 years, total entered cost is $430,000 and gross savings are $750,000, producing $320,000 in net benefit, 74.42% simple ROI, and a 25.09-month simple payback period.

Use this insurance calculator to compare scenarios before committing money, time, or a provider conversation.
The estimate combines Initial Software and Implementation Cost ($), One-Time Employee Training Cost ($), Annual Recurring Software Cost ($) and returns Annual Net Savings Scenario, Total Cost Over Horizon, Gross Savings Over Horizon.
If the result changes your decision, verify the current quote, rate, eligibility rule, or provider term before acting.
