The Azure TCO Calculator

The Azure TCO calculator can be accessed as a browser-based tool to estimate cost savings by moving workloads to Azure. The TCO calculator allows you to enter details for the on-premises workloads. It will then provide some assumptions based on industry average operational costs, including data center facility costs, electricity, labor, hardware, software, and networking costs. It then provides potential cost savings by moving those workloads to Azure. These reports can be saved, downloaded (exported), or shared. Figure 7.3 shows the TCO calculator:
