Common questions

Questions before you buy

What do I get?

An Excel spreadsheet plus a Google Sheets copy link, and a short instructions PDF. You edit the highlighted cells and read the results.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can type a number into a spreadsheet cell, you can use it. A worked example is already filled in to copy.

How is this different from the free guides?

The free guides teach the method. The calculator does the math for you and compares up to three tools, so you get an answer in minutes.
