What keeping the lights on costs you.
Bug fixes, support tickets, upgrades, the report someone asked for twice. Put in your team and see what that work costs a year, and how much of it the bench would need to take over to pay for itself.
What keeping the lights on costs
$604,800 a year
That's 3.4 full-time developers' worth of salary going to fixes, support and upkeep instead of what's next.
- V1 · support $120,000 a year, billed annually
Pays for itself if it takes over 20% of that work.
- V2 · dev team $240,000 a year, billed annually
Pays for itself if it takes over 40% of that work.
The 42% default comes from Stripe's The Developer Coefficient (2018), where developers reported spending about 42% of their week on maintenance, technical debt and bad code. Prices are the annual rates; monthly billing costs more. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.
