How the calculator operates

What you enter:

1. Team size today (H): How many people are on your team right now.
2. Growth (G): How much you think your team will grow in the next year. (For example, 0.25 means 25% more people.)

What we calculate:

1. Average team size for the year: We assume your team grows slowly over time, not all at once. So we take today’s team size and add half of the growth.
2. Cost with Interlaced: We use our per-person pricing (which already includes device management and security tools) based on your average team size.
3. Cost to do IT in-house: How much it would cost to hire IT staff yourself in a typical big-city job market. One IT person can support up to ~100 employees. After that, you’d need part of a second person.
4. Savings: The difference between the cost of hiring your own IT team and using Interlaced, shown in dollars and as a percentage.

Why this is trustworthy:

• It uses the same type of planning that finance teams already use (team size + expected growth + real salaries).
• Salary numbers come from well-known market data for higher-cost cities.
• All assumptions are written clearly so nothing is hidden.
