How to Use This Calculator

Enter total users requiring MFA enrollment.
Select MFA method (TOTP app, SMS, hardware token, push notification, or FIDO2 passkey).
Set rollout timeline (months) and spare tokens (%) for replacements.
Review hardware cost, implementation cost, monthly recurring, and first-year total cost.
FIDO2 passkeys have the lowest long-term cost and highest phishing resistance -- prioritize for privileged users.
