How accurate is this calculator?

These are directional estimates based on observed savings across the last 12+ Kalyankari Softnet client audits. Actual savings depend on workload patterns, existing optimisation level, contractual commitments and architecture. The free 30-min audit produces a precise number for your specific environment.

Does this work for AWS, Azure and GCP?

Yes. The savings ranges differ slightly across providers (AWS Reserved Instances and Savings Plans are the most generous; Azure Hybrid Benefit can be material for Microsoft-shop migrations; GCP CUDs are simpler but flatter). The calculator picks the right model for the provider you select.

How long does it take to realise these savings?

Quick wins (Reserved Instances, idle workload sweep, untagged cleanup) usually land in weeks 4–6 and pay back the first month. Structural savings (right-sizing, storage tiering, NAT consolidation) take 8–12 weeks. Most of our clients see the full predicted range within one quarter.

// HOW THIS ESTIMATE IS CALCULATED

No black box — here's the math.

Baseline savings rate by stage

Never optimised: 22–35%. Partially optimised: 10–18%. Heavily optimised: 4–10%. Sourced from 12+ KS audits across FinTech, EdTech, SaaS and D2C clients.

Workload multiplier

Data workloads have larger storage tiering wins (×1.15). AI/ML workloads often have significant GPU + spot opportunities (×1.20). Web apps are compute-typical (×1.00).

Provider adjustment

AWS gets the broadest tooling (Savings Plans + RIs + Spot). Azure Hybrid Benefit is a major lever for Microsoft shops. GCP CUDs are simpler but flatter — slightly lower upper bound.

// CALCULATOR FAQ

Common questions about the estimate.

How accurate is this?: Directional. Range is based on the last 12+ KS client audits. Your actual savings depend on workload patterns, existing commitments (RIs / Savings Plans), and architecture choices. The 30-min audit produces a precise number.
Does this work for AWS, Azure and GCP?: Yes. AWS gets the broadest savings toolkit (Savings Plans, multiple RI types, Spot). Azure has Hybrid Benefit + Reservations. GCP has Committed Use Discounts. The calculator adjusts for each.
How long until I see the savings?: Quick wins (RIs, idle sweep, untagged cleanup) usually land weeks 4–6 and pay back month 1. Structural changes (right-sizing, storage tiering, NAT consolidation) take 8–12 weeks.
My bill is over ₹50L/month — does this still apply?: Yes, and the absolute savings get bigger fast. Above ₹50L/mo the lever often shifts to Enterprise Discount Programs (EDPs) and architecture-level redesign — both within scope of our paid engagement, not the calculator.
Can I share the result with my CFO/CTO?: Please do. Hit "Book free audit" and we'll send a properly-structured memo within 48h that's ready to forward. No marketing fluff in it.
