How the numbers work.

  1. Monthly base = support hours × hourly rate + hosting + licences/monitoring + backups.
  2. Contingency is applied to the whole monthly base. Annual budget = monthly budget × 12.

All money values are GBP. Keep VAT treatment consistent across inputs. Outputs are indicative, not a quote or a guarantee. Model reviewed October 2026.
