How it works
We total and project it
Your monthly and annual totals are calculated, and a growth assumption projects where spend trends over 12 months.
Spot the concentration risk
The largest cost category is flagged so you know where a pricing tier change would hit hardest.

Frequently asked questions
Does this include one-time software purchases?
No, this tool focuses on recurring subscription costs, since those compound over the life of the MVP. Track one-time purchases separately.
How is the 12-month projection calculated?
It applies your selected growth multiplier to current spend as a simple directional estimate, not a vendor-specific pricing model.
Why does it flag a 'largest category'?
Concentrated spend in one category is the first place to look for annual-billing discounts or a lower usage tier.
