How we calculate
The maths, in the open.
- Today = (POS × locations) + website + marketing.
- With us = Studio Bundle for the first location + Stockroom for each extra location.
- Annual billing uses our annual prices (2 months free).
- Card processing is left out on both sides: it depends on your processor, not your POS.
Spec sheet · FAQ
Calculator questions, answered.
01How does the savings calculator work?Day to day
Enter what you pay each month today for your POS, website and marketing tools, and how many locations you have. The calculator compares that with the matching RetailPOS Studio plan or bundle in your currency and shows the monthly and yearly difference. Prices come from our published pricing for your market.
02Does it include card-processing fees?Cost & billing
No. Because you use your own card processor with RetailPOS Studio, processing fees depend on your agreement with them. If your current POS bundles processing at a higher rate, add your estimate of that difference to see the full picture.
03What counts as marketing spend?Day to day
Include CRM, email or SMS tools, review-request apps and any agency retainer you pay for follow-up marketing. The bundle's GoHighLevel snapshot replaces some of that work, though the GoHighLevel subscription itself may still apply.
04Why are the default numbers different for each country?Day to day
The defaults reflect typical spend in each market so the starting point is realistic. They're only a starting point: replace them with your own bills for an accurate result.
05Is the result a quote?Day to day
No. It's an estimate from the figures you enter and our published prices. Your actual cost depends on your plan, number of locations and add-ons. Book a demo for a written quote.
06Does it count hardware?Setting up
No. Most shops keep their existing scanners, printers and cash drawers, so hardware usually isn't a new cost. If you need new hardware, the hardware guide lists what works.
07Can I save or share the result?Day to day
Copy the summary text to share with a partner or accountant, or print the page. We don't store the numbers you type into the calculator.
08What if I pay annually?Cost & billing
Toggle annual billing to see the effect of 2 months free. Annual saves the most if you're sure you'll stay, and you still get a prorated refund within the first 30 days.
