Reality Check

  • • The numbers above are gross cost. Add 20-30% for QA, deployment, and ops.
  • • Actual timeframes are rarely linear. Features take longer than estimated.
  • • Hiring one engineer costs 2-3x salary when including onboarding and context-switching overhead.
  • • Scope creep is normal. Plan for a 20-40% buffer over estimates.

How It Works

Set your hourly rate

Enter your per-hour developer cost. Include salary, benefits, overhead. In India, it ranges from ₹1,500-5,000/hr.

Choose team size

How many developers are building? The cost multiplies by team size.

Watch it tick

The clock shows real-time cost. By second, minute, hour, day. This is the cost of delay.

Do the math

If your MVP takes 10 weeks and costs 3 devs at ₹2,500/hr, multiply: 40 hours/week × 10 weeks × 3 × 2500 = ₹30,00,000

Why This Matters

Every day you delay costs money. Watch it happen in real-time.

Most founders underestimate developer cost. This makes it visceral.

Scope creep has a price. When someone says "just add this feature", you see the cost.

Hiring one more developer costs 2-3x their salary when you account for onboarding and management overhead.
