What does your build really cost?
Watch your development costs tick down in real-time. Set your hourly rate and team size. See how fast money burns during active development.
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.
