How We Calculate Your BallparkSavings
We believe in transparency. Here’s a look at the simple logic behind our calculator’s estimates
Step 1
Estimate Total Licenses
We assume each employee uses an average of 8 SaaS tools.
FORMULA
Estimated Licenses = Employees × 8
Example:
200 employees = 1,600 total licenses (200 × 8)
Step 2
Divide Licenses Across Apps
Total estimated licenses are divided among your selected apps.
Example:
If you select two apps, the tool will assume 800 licenses per app (1,600 ÷ 2).
Step 3
Calculate Potential Savings
We use monthly cost per license and usage rating for savings calculation.
Example:
An app with an $8 monthly cost and a “Hardly Used” rating (representing 60% optimization), the estimated monthly savings would be $3,840 (800 licenses x $8/license x 60% optimization)
