Frequently Asked Questions
How are these costs calculated?
The calculator adds two numbers. 1. Lost Revenue: We divide your expected monthly revenue by 4.33 to get a weekly figure, then multiply it by the weeks delayed. 2. Extra Dev Costs: We multiply your team size by a 40-hour work week, multiplied by their hourly rate and the number of delayed weeks. The sum is your Total Cost of Delay.
Why is Cost of Delay (CoD) so important?
Many companies only look at their budget, but ignore time. A delayed launch doesn't just mean you pay your developers longer; it means you are actively bleeding potential revenue that your competitors might be capturing instead. Proper project management tools help minimize this massive hidden risk.
