ROI calculator

Run your own numbers.

Enter the time you spend on social posts, what that time is worth and what you pay for tools today. The calculator sets those figures against the price of each Beacon plan and shows every step of the arithmetic.

It doesn’t guess how much time Beacon will save you. That estimate is yours to enter.

How this is worked out

  • This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It isn’t a forecast and it isn’t a promise of any result.
  • A month is counted as 52 weeks ÷ 12 months, about 4.33 weeks.
  • Plan prices are the ones on our pricing page: Solo $79, Team $149 or Pro $299 a month billed monthly; or Solo $758, Team $1,430 or Pro $2,390 billed once a year. For annual billing the monthly figure is the yearly price ÷ 12.
  • Nothing you type leaves this page. The sums run in your browser.
