Tech Debt & Refactor ROI Calculator

Turn "the code is slowing us down" into a payback period leadership will fund.

Engineering teams lose real hours every sprint to debt — slow builds, brittle code, manual steps. Quantify the bleed and the break-even point of fixing it.

Slow builds, brittle tests, manual steps, debugging quirks.

All-in: research, code, tests, rollout.

Reading the result

We compare the recurring cost of the drag (hours lost per sprint × cost per hour, annualised) against a one-off remediation investment, and return the payback period and one-year net. Anything under ~6 months is usually an easy yes.

Make the case

Leadership funds payback periods, not "the code is bad". Bring a number.
