Calculators for the questions that stall projects
What Copilot Studio will actually bill. Which licence a build needs. How much Dataverse storage you already own, and what the next gigabyte costs. Six calculators, every rate traced to a Microsoft page and last checked in August 2026. None of them ask for an email.
Two more things you can take without asking
A calculator settles a number. These two cover what comes after it: the policy document somebody has to write, and the tenant audit nobody has run.
One that runs against your own environment
A calculator works on numbers you type in. Some questions can only be answered by reading the environment itself, and that needs something running on your machine with your own connection. We publish those to the Power Platform ToolBox, a free desktop app that hosts community-built tools. Install it, connect it to an environment, and the tool below shows up in the list. Nothing is sent to us.
Because they are the questions we get asked most
They all arrive the same way. Someone needs a number by Friday, the answer is one sentence somewhere in the middle of a licensing PDF, and nobody is certain that PDF is still the current one. A calculator settles it in a minute. A meeting to discuss it takes a week to schedule and ends with somebody promising to check.
What the email is for
Seeing your results costs one work email, once, and it covers every calculator and download on the site. In return you get a copy you can forward to whoever holds the budget, and a note when the rates underneath change — which, for Microsoft licensing, is often. Being straight about the rest of it: the arithmetic runs in your browser, but the headline figures it produced are sent along with your address. That is deliberate. It means if you do get in touch, we are already looking at the same numbers you are.
Every rate is sourced and dated
Where a tool quotes a Microsoft price, it links the page that price came from and prints the month it was last checked. Prices and entitlements move; when one moves it changes in a single file and every calculator here follows. A calculator quietly running last year’s price is worse than no calculator at all — without one you would have gone and looked.
They stop where estimates stop
An estimate built on what people remember building is a guess with decimal places. Knowing what is actually deployed across your environments — every app, flow, agent and connector, and who owns it — is the part a form on a web page cannot do for you. That is what Cartographer is for, and it is where these tools hand off.
If a number surprises you, it is usually the tenant
A result that looks wrong is rarely the arithmetic. It is the app nobody remembers publishing, the service account running on a user licence, or the flow retriggering itself on modified-on. Send us what you got and we will tell you which one it is.
