Cloud migration cost plan

$5,172 monthly run rate and $94,632 first-year planning cost.

Run-rate model
  • 18 workloads
  • Compute: $3,960/mo
  • Storage: $672/mo
  • Egress: $540/mo
Migration effort
  • Labor estimate: 240 hours
  • One-time migration cost: $32,568
  • Contingency: 18%
Checklist
  • Validate workload inventory
  • Separate dev/test from production
  • Confirm egress patterns and backup retention
  • Create rollback plan
Next steps
  1. 1Run workload dependency mapping
  2. 2Pilot one low-risk workload
  3. 3Compare actual bill to model
  4. 4Finalize migration waves

Logic: Monthly run rate = compute + storage + egress. First-year cost = 12 months run rate + migration labor with contingency.

About this Cloud Migration Cost Planner

Use this workflow to estimate cloud migration cost and generate a practical migration planning artifact.

How to use this calculator

  1. Work through each planning step from left to right.
  2. Adjust assumptions until the live artifact matches the scenario you want to save.
  3. Sign in and save the workflow artifact if you want it synced to your Calwarden account.

Key assumptions

  • All values are user-entered planning assumptions.
  • Calculations run locally in the browser.
  • Saved artifacts are stored only when a signed-in user explicitly saves them.
