How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Per-seat monthly price ($) = 50, Number of seats/users = 25, Contract term (months) = 12, Billing (0=Monthly, 1=Annual, 2=Multi-year) = 1 = 7 input(s) provided
Calculate Total contract cost
19025 = $19,025
Calculate Average monthly cost
Average monthly cost = (totalContractCost - implementationFee) / contractTermMonths
1168.75 = $1,168.75
Calculate Effective cost per seat
Effective cost per seat = avgMonthlyCost / numberOfSeats
46.75 = $46.75
