About this tool
Replatform Cost Estimator
The Replatform Cost Estimator computes total migration cost, parallel-run overhead, and break-even timeline from engineering effort and monthly savings.
• Calculate break-even timeline before approving a cloud migration
• Quantify replatform cost for a board-level infrastructure proposal
• Model parallel-run cost for a zero-downtime migration
• Compare replatform ROI against ongoing optimization of current platform

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Replatform Cost Estimator computes total migration cost, parallel-run overhead, and break-even timeline from engineering effort and monthly savings.
What affects the result most?
Replatform cost: migration_eng_days + testing_days + parallel_run_days × current_cost. Risk buffer: add 50-100% to estimated migration time — migrations always take longer. Parallel run cost: running both platforms during cutover — typically 1-3 months overhead.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
