This Excel spreadsheet provides the opportunity to estimate and budget various IT costs (-10% to +23%).

The Cost Estimating Worksheet identifies costs by:

   IT Resources
    External professional services
    Hardware/communications & maintenance
    Software license fees and maintenance
    Other fees (travel, training, etc.).

The embedded formulas include the following:

	IT Resources Project Cost = Staff Hours X Hourly Rate
	Professional Services Cost = Hours X Hourly Rate
	Hardware / Communications & Maintenance Costs Subtotal = Total of individual items
	Software Licenses & Maintenance Costs Subtotal = Total of individual items
	Other (Travel, Supplies, etc.) Costs Subtotal = Total of individual items
	Total = all of the above
	Risk / Contingency Reserve = 13% (user definable) of Total
	Grand Total = All of the above.
