Migration budget
Budget beyond the license price
A lower recurring license does not make migration free. Price the transition separately before comparing total cost of ownership.
- Internal engineering and project-management time
- Temporary source and destination overlap
- Backup storage and data-transfer charges
- Optional migration or consulting services
- Replacement extensions and integration work
- Tax, payment fees, and currency conversion
- Post-cutover monitoring and contingency
Illustrative labor calculation
Inventory (4 hours) + transfer and validation (12 hours) + cutover and monitoring (4 hours) = 20 hours. At 75 per hour, the labor allowance is 1,500 in your chosen currency. This is a planning example, not a Core Panel quote.
Methodology
How this calculator works
- 1. Select a tier
Map the account count on each server to the smallest direct cPanel Store tier that covers it.
- 2. Multiply by servers
Apply that license price to every server in the calculator. Mixed server sizes should be calculated separately.
- 3. Preserve currencies
cPanel is shown in USD and Core Panel in AUD. We do not embed a stale exchange rate.
- 4. Add excluded costs
Add infrastructure, extensions, support, tax, migration, and payment costs, then validate workload compatibility in a trial.
