In-House vs Outsourced Development Team Calculator

In-house cost is people × monthly cost × months. The outsourced side is a delivery range for a similar scope.

About 3 minutes · Planning estimate, not a quotation

How the estimate is calculated

Enter the in-house team you would hire. The calculator multiplies count, monthly cost and duration. The outsourced range uses the shared cost engine from scope answers.

Assumptions

In-house monthly cost should include salary, tools and management time. Recruitment delay is not modelled.

Limitations

This is not a staffing plan. Seniority mix and bench time can change either side.

Frequently asked questions

Can we mix both?

Yes. Many teams keep product ownership in-house and outsource delivery. Use the result as a conversation starter, not a budget lock.
