Estimate a yearly range for managed EDR, MDR, SOC-as-a-service or an MSSP bundle from your endpoint count, an illustrative per-endpoint band and fixed annual costs.
Pick the type of service, enter the number of endpoints you need covered and your fixed yearly costs. The tool multiplies endpoints by the low and high cost per endpoint per year and adds the fixed amount. All figures are before 18% GST.
What counts as an endpoint. Every laptop, desktop and server with the agent installed. Many providers count servers at a higher rate or as several endpoints, and some price per user instead (one user may have a laptop and a phone). Convert a per-user quote into per-endpoint terms before comparing.
What goes in fixed costs. Items that do not scale with endpoints: a managed firewall per site, SIEM charges for log volume from firewalls and cloud, an annual VAPT, the onboarding fee divided by the years of the contract, and an incident-response retainer if you buy one.
Worked example (illustrative). 50 endpoints of MDR at ₹3,500–₹9,000 a year = ₹1,75,000–₹4,50,000. Add ₹2,50,000 fixed (one managed firewall, a yearly VAPT and onboarding spread over three years) = ₹4,25,000–₹7,00,000 a year before GST, or ₹5,01,500–₹8,26,000 with 18% GST.
Limits. The ranges are illustrative bands to show the arithmetic, not market prices or vendor quotes. Response scope, log retention (CERT-In expects 180 days), SLA and contract term move the price more than the endpoint count. Replace the bands with written quotes; see pricing models.
