How This Estimate Is Calculated
This calculator compares the estimated annual cost of outsourcing IT support to Perigon One against the estimated annual cost of maintaining internal IT resources.
- MSP Cost: Based on the number of supported staff and the number of business locations.
- In-house Cost: Based on estimated IT staffing levels, salary benchmarks, and employment on-costs.
- Total Savings: Calculated as the estimated in-house annual cost minus the Perigon One annual cost.
The result is intended to provide a practical budgeting estimate rather than a formal quote.
Assumptions Used in This Comparison
To keep the calculator practical and easy to use, the in-house comparison is based on common staffing assumptions for growing businesses.
- One internal IT generalist can typically support up to 75 users in a stable environment.
- Additional internal IT capacity is added as staff numbers grow.
- Each additional site increases support complexity and may require extra internal IT capacity.
- Senior oversight is typically introduced once environments become larger or more operationally complex.
- Infrastructure and security-specialist costs are added at larger staff thresholds.
- Estimated internal employment costs include salary plus additional on-costs such as superannuation, leave, and other employer overheads.
Why Businesses Often Save by Outsourcing IT
For many businesses, hiring one in-house IT person may appear cost-effective at first, but internal IT usually creates capability gaps. A single person rarely delivers full coverage across support, infrastructure, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, projects, vendor management, and multi-site operations at the same level as a managed IT provider.
Outsourcing gives businesses access to a broader support model, deeper technical coverage, and more consistent service delivery without carrying the full cost of recruiting, retaining, and managing multiple internal IT roles.
Important Notes and Limitations
This calculator is intended as a guide only. Actual pricing and internal support requirements may vary depending on business complexity, compliance requirements, security maturity, infrastructure footprint, support hours, and site mix.
Warehouse, industrial, and highly distributed environments may require different support effort than a standard office-based environment. A tailored assessment will provide a more accurate recommendation.
