How it works

Red team budget in this calculator is scenarios times cost plus hours times rate. With 8 scenarios, 400 cost, 40 hours, 95 rate the result is Estimated red-team budget: $7,000.00.

budget = scenarios × cost + hours × rate. The formula uses scenarios and rate.

Estimated red-team budget: $7,000.00 is not a SOC contract. Another set of numbers gives Estimated red-team budget: $2,280.00, and a further set gives $19,200.00. Empty optional fields do not change the result.

API exposure answers a different question. Fairness gap does too. Here 8 scenarios, 400 cost, 40 hours, 95 rate leave Estimated red-team budget: $7,000.00.

Type 8 scenarios, 400 cost, 40 hours, 95 rate and click Calculate. Two more ready sets sit under the form: Estimated red-team budget: $2,280.00 and $19,200.00.

Other numbers on the same labels move the result. The first example gives Estimated red-team budget: $7,000.00.

Formula

budget = scenarios × cost + hours × rate.
