Project Cost Calculator

A Notion project cost calculator for the project initiation phase. It guides you step by step through costing a project or product, so you have a cost estimate before you commit to a costly development process.

What is inside

• A how-to video at the top of the template
• Written instructions throughout the pages
• A Sprint Summaries page that holds the sprint inputs and the key metrics and calculations, including total costs
• A Project Description page for the project name, vision, key stakeholder and success criteria, with a Project Setup button that takes you on to the calculator

How to use it

• Follow the video instructions
• Enter your project inputs: resources, utilisation, day rates and the expected number of sprints
• Adjust the assumptions and parameters of the calculation to fit your project
• Share the resulting cost estimate with stakeholders

Who it is for

Anyone working out projected project or product costs before development starts: project managers, consultants and freelancers pricing a piece of work. The template is fully customisable and can be shared with the people who need to sign off.

The maker built it on a real-world costing approach from their time at a Top 4 consulting company.
