Enterprise SSO Add-On ROI Calculator

Gauge whether charging for enterprise single sign-on delivers a healthy payback. Combine your seat counts, SSO uplift, churn benefit, and identity platform costs to see incremental monthly value, the resulting ROI, and how many seats it takes for the uplift to cover the tooling expense on its own.

Billable enterprise users eligible for SSO pricing.
Your current monthly subscription price per enterprise seat.
Additional monthly fee per seat for SAML/OIDC SSO.
Optional. Share of seats retained each month thanks to SSO (defaults to 0%).
Optional. Include vendor fees or engineering run costs for identity infrastructure.
Optional. Estimate fewer password resets or provisioning tickets once SSO launches.

Model for internal planning only. Validate pricing, procurement, and engineering costs with your finance and product teams before finalizing offers.

Examples

  • 850 seats, $120 base price, $6 uplift, 2.5% churn reduction, $12,000 platform cost, $4,500 support savings ⇒ Monthly incremental value: $12,150.00 • Net after platform cost: $150.00 • ROI: 1.25% • Break-even seats on uplift alone: 2,000.
  • 400 seats, $90 base price, $4 uplift, optional fields blank ⇒ Monthly incremental value: $1,600.00 • Net after platform cost: $1,600.00 • ROI: n/a (no platform cost) • Break-even seats on uplift alone: 0.

FAQ

How should I estimate churn reduction from SSO?

Use historical logo churn for accounts without SSO and apply the delta you have seen in pilots or industry benchmarks. Even a 1–2% absolute drop can materially change ARR when applied across thousands of enterprise seats.

Can I factor in implementation services or one-time fees?

Include onboarding or professional services in the platform cost field by amortizing them over the expected contract term so the ROI compares recurring inflows to recurring outflows.

What if we bundle SSO into a wider enterprise plan?

Set the uplift input to the portion of the plan price you attribute to SSO. This isolates the value of single sign-on even when sold alongside provisioning APIs or audit features.

Additional Information

  • Retention lift converts directly into ARR by multiplying saved seats by the base price; adjust the percentage to mirror observed churn deltas after SSO adoption.
  • If you expect multi-year contracts, multiply the net monthly gain by 12 before comparing it to annual identity platform fees.
  • Break-even seats assume only the SSO uplift covers platform spend; support savings and retention gains accelerate payback further.
