What’s the true cost of your devices? The answer is shocking:
Knowing your numbers is a key difference between proper lifecycle management and helplessly losing value on a shelf.
Off the top of your head, do you know the monthly cost of your end-user devices? Not just the ones on a Device as a Service (DaaS) model, but even those you purchased outright.
If the answer is no, you’re not alone. Determining the true value of end-user computing projects is an important part of device management and planning for the future, but it’s often much harder than it needs to be.
Why? Because there are so many factors that contribute to the cost and value of your device fleets. It’s not just the purchase price. You need to consider onboarding time, device counts, employee salaries, the length of your refresh cycle, support costs, and much more. And here’s something many organizations overlook: value depreciates even when devices aren’t being used.
That’s right: batteries and internal components age even if the device sits untouched on a shelf or remains sealed in its original box. Every idle day chips away at your investment, reducing performance and shortening lifespan.
To simplify this complexity, we’ve created the Know Your Numbers calculator. This simple tool helps you quickly determine two critical metrics:
- The monthly cost of a desktop, laptop, or mobile device.
- The per-minute business cost of an employee.
Armed with these insights, you can make smarter decisions about device management, refresh cycles, and budgeting. No more guesswork, just clear, actionable data that helps you maximize ROI and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Whether you’re optimizing your current fleet or preparing for a refresh, these tools give you the clarity you need to maximize ROI. Don’t let aging devices drain your resources. Start calculating today and take control of your end-user computing strategy.
