Calculate total entered benefits, total costs, net benefit, and simple ROI for an enterprise software development scenario.
Formula
const enteredDevelopmentCost = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.initialDevelopmentCost || 0)); const enteredAnnualBenefit = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.annualQuantifiedBenefit || 0)); const enteredYears = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.analysisYears || 0)); const enteredAnnualMaintenance = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.annualMaintenanceCost || 0)); const totalBenefitScenario = Math.round((enteredAnnualBenefit * enteredYears) * 100) / 100; const totalCostScenario = Math.round((enteredDevelopmentCost + enteredAnnualMaintenance * enteredYears) * 100) / 100; const netBenefitScenario = Math.round((totalBenefitScenario - totalCostScenario) * 100) / 100; const simpleRoiPct = totalCostScenario > 0 ? Math.round((netBenefitScenario / totalCostScenario * 100) * 100) / 100 : 0; return { totalBenefitScenario, totalCostScenario, netBenefitScenario, simpleRoiPct };Entered Initial Development Cost ($)
500,000
Entered Annual Quantified Benefit ($)
300,000
Analysis Period (Years)
3
Entered Annual Maintenance Cost ($)
50,000
Use the result to compare providers, request quotes, or send the scenario to a specialist when the numbers matter.
With the default inputs, $300,000 of entered annual quantified benefit over 3 years produces a $900,000 total benefit scenario. A $500,000 initial development cost plus $150,000 of maintenance produces $650,000 total cost, $250,000 net benefit, and 38.46% simple ROI.
Use this business calculator to compare scenarios before committing money, time, or a provider conversation.
The estimate combines Entered Initial Development Cost ($), Entered Annual Quantified Benefit ($), Analysis Period (Years) and returns Total Benefit Scenario, Total Cost Scenario, Net Benefit Scenario.
If the result changes your decision, verify the current quote, rate, eligibility rule, or provider term before acting.
