| Title: | Benchmark Math for Flat-Rate Software Subscriptions |
|---|---|
| Description: | Two constants and two functions that benchmark a flat-rate unlimited software development subscription against the fully loaded monthly cost of a senior US software engineer. 'annual_saving()' returns the yearly dollar gap between the two rates and 'coverage_multiple()' returns how many months of subscription work a single month of hiring budget covers. Pure arithmetic, no dependencies, suitable for pricing pages and procurement math. Companion to the subscription-pricing writing on Poket Dev <https://poketdev.com>. |

Two constants and two functions that benchmark a flat-rate unlimited
software development subscription against the fully loaded monthly cost
of a senior US software engineer. annual_saving() returns the
yearly dollar gap between the two rates and coverage_multiple()
returns how many months of subscription work a single month of hiring
budget covers.
