Launching a Saas-based application can be a game-changer, but before you start building, you need one thing a clear cost estimation. That’s where our SaaS Estimation Calculator comes in. It helps clients and startups get a near-accurate idea of how much it will cost to bring their idea to life.
In this blog, we break down the calculator’s components and show you how the pricing is estimated transparently and efficiently.
Breakdown of SaaS Estimation Fields
Our estimation tool considers multiple technical and design components of a SaaS project. Here’s a quick explanation of each:
1. R&D (Research & Development)
This involves understanding user problems, validating ideas, and defining the scope of work. This stage ensures you’re building the right product from day one.
2. Figma (UI/UX Design)
A clean, intuitive interface is essential. Figma design costs cover wireframes, UI elements, and a clickable prototype that guides the development phase.
3. User Web
Covers the development of the front-end web app for your users — typically includes dashboards, login/signup, and core functionalities.
4. User Android / User iOS
If your users will access the platform through mobile, we estimate native app development separately for Android and iOS, ensuring seamless performance on both platforms.
5. Admin Panel
Every SaaS project needs backend control. The admin panel allows you to manage users, data, subscriptions, reports, and more.
6. Vendor Panel
If your app involves third-party providers (e.g., sellers, service agents, freelancers), a separate vendor dashboard is built for their tasks and analytics.
7. Algorithm
If your SaaS includes logic like recommendation engines, matching algorithms, or pricing calculations — this cost is added here.
8. Hosting
Includes server cost, storage, backups, and domain management. Can vary based on user base and data usage.
9. Android / iOS Publishing
These fields include testing, preparing, and submitting your app to the Play Store and App Store respectively.
10. Testing
Before going live, the entire system is tested for bugs, security, and performance to ensure a stable and reliable launch.
Adding Profit & Taxes
After calculating the total cost of development, we add:
- Profit – This is to ensure we continue offering high-quality development, post-launch support, and innovation.
- GST – As per Indian government regulations, we apply 18% GST to the final invoice.
Sample Calculation
Here’s an example to visualise how the total is calculated:
