What we leave out
Worker time lost while a device is down (one study puts it at 37 minutes per failure), the cost of a data breach from a lost device, devices recovered with remote locate, and new hires, repairs and resets that also need setup. We could not find published figures solid enough to count them, so the estimate stays conservative.

Device cost calculator FAQs
Where do the numbers come from?
Your fleet details come from you. The rest are published figures, each named in the sources table: the Forrester Total Economic Impact study of Samsung Knox Suite (commissioned by Samsung) for setup time and support calls, US and EU labor statistics for the starting hourly cost, and the Nomid price list.
Is this a quote?
No. It is an estimate built from your inputs and the published figures on this page. To check it, enroll a few of your own devices, time the setup, and compare it with the cited figures.
What would Nomid cost me?
The calculator applies the current Nomid price list for your currency. Up to 10 Android devices and 10 headsets are free. Above that, every device of that type is billed, and billing annually takes 15% off. From 1,000 devices we show list price, and volume pricing is available.
Why are lost devices not counted as a saving?
Management does not stop a device from being lost. Remote lock or locate can limit the damage, but we found no published figure solid enough to count, so lost devices are shown as a cost you carry, not as a saving.
