A simple check on whether purchasing a service is worth the cost - built in an afternoon in response to a previous HN discussion [1].
A few people expressed interest in embedding something similar in a landing page, so I've open-sourced the code for others to use if they wish.

- Sebb767 6y agoThat's great! Thanks for taking the time to build it.
- glaberficken 6y agoUnder "Service cost" it could use an option for "one time purchase fee". Obviously that is going to create special cases for the "amortizations" output
- koheripbal 6y agoYep... conceptually, you want to quantify, recurring gains, recurring costs, one-time gains, and one-time costs.
- osel 6y agoCheers, a few people of suggested this. As you note, it rather depends on the amortization period. At the moment it assumes 1 year for training costs to be amortized over, so I guess one-time purchase would be similar - configurable assumptions (or at list, visibility into the assumptions) is on the list of things to do.
