Using the Pricing Calculator

The pricing calculator helps build indicative service estimates from the published CFTS price list.

It is intended for early review, internal planning, client discussion, and proposal preparation. It is not a formal quote, contract, invoice, or acceptance document.

What The Calculator Covers

The calculator uses the maintained public pricing source for:

  • shared hosting
  • core platform services
  • compute
  • dedicated enterprise infrastructure
  • block storage
  • network and bandwidth services
  • public IPv4 addressing
  • platform services
  • software licensing and deployment services

The service list is generated from the same pricing data used by the public pricing documents, so the calculator should remain aligned with the published price list.

How To Use It

Open the Pricing Calculator, choose the required services, select the applicable billing unit, and enter quantities or months where needed.

Monthly items may require both a quantity and a number of months. Annual and one-time items normally use quantity only.

For block storage, choose Standard Storage (SSD) or Performance Storage (NVMe). The quantity is committed TB, and the calculator applies the matching capacity tier to the full committed capacity.

For dedicated bandwidth, quantity is committed Mbps. The calculator applies the matching bandwidth tier to the full committed capacity.

Totals are recalculated by the calculator from the current pricing source. They include a subtotal, VAT, and an indicative total.

Exporting And Importing Estimates

The calculator can export estimates as CSV for review or proposal preparation.

The calculator asks for a name, email address, and company name first. This helps CFTS understand who is using exported estimates for follow-up or proposal discussion.

CSV export contact details are handled through the CFTS contact workflow. CFTS network users may export CSV files without this extra step.

CSV files exported by the calculator can also be imported back into the calculator for further adjustment. When a CSV is imported, the calculator validates the file and recalculates prices from the current pricing source rather than trusting the prices stored in the CSV.

This means an imported estimate may show updated totals if the published pricing or exchange rates have changed since the CSV was created.

Important Notes

Prices remain indicative and subject to confirmation, exchange-rate variation, VAT, taxes, duties, availability, and final service design.

UGX pricing is indicative only. For invoicing, UGX conversion is based on the prevailing Euro exchange rate published by the Uganda Revenue Authority at the time of invoicing. See URA exchange rates.
