Private AI vs per-seat ROI calculator.
Per-seat AI billing recurs in full for every user, every year. A private deployment is mostly a one-time cost with a small annual maintenance charge after that. Put in your own numbers and see the payback period and the multi-year return, in rupees. Nothing to install, no form in your way.
| Year | Headcount | Per-seat SaaS | Private | Running saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total over horizon | — | — | — | |
How it is modelled: per-seat cost = headcount × price × 12, grown each year by your headcount growth (and, if the plan is billed in dollars, re-priced by the rupee slide at each renewal). The private path is the one-time cost in year one plus an annual maintenance charge (your percentage of the one-time cost) in every year, including year one. Running saving is the cumulative per-seat spend minus the cumulative private spend, so payback is the point where it turns positive. GST at 18% is applied symmetrically to both when ticked. These are indicative figures to show the shape of the decision, not a quote. Read the full method in the TCO breakdown.
