One flat price. Every Jira user included.
Per-seat pricing punishes you for adding the people who most need to see the truth. We charge a flat fee and include every Jira user — engineering, design, ops, leadership. The bill is the same in January and in October.

Move the slider. The maths is yours to check.
Two industry benchmarks (Promethean Research, PMI Pulse of the Profession) and a calibrated recovery range. No email gate, no PDF download, no “Speak to sales for full analysis”. Every number is shown with its source so a CFO can audit the calculation in a minute.
Figure in millions of GBP (£) (so 10 means £10M, 1.5 means £1.5M). Leave empty to use the industry baseline.
At your size, Saldo’s annual cost is roughly 15% of the realistic first-year recovery estimate. Looked at against your client portfolio’s 3-year LTV, the same fee is closer to 0.1% — the longer game most CFOs find more sobering, because silent margin compression is the quiet way an account walks away the year after.
Show how this is calculated
Revenue baseline. Production staff (~65% of headcount) × 30 billable hours/week × 46 working weeks × £130–£167/hour blended rate. Sourced from Promethean Research 2026 State of Digital Services: Digital Agency Industry Research (anchored at $175–$225/hour, converted to GBP at HMRC May 2026 spot rates). Range, not a single point — rates and production ratios vary by region and service mix.
Project waste benchmark. Approximately one in ten of every £1 invested in projects is wasted due to poor performance. Source: Project Management Institute, Pulse of the Profession— 9.9% in the 2018 edition, 11.4% in 2020, 9.4% in 2021. Later editions (2024 onwards) cover related governance and business-acumen benchmarks but do not republish this single headline figure. The recovery range below is the share of that pool Saldo’s analysis layer addresses.
Recovery range (1–3%). Calibrated against Saldo’s five categories of analysis: pre-sold contract tracking, pro-rated overhead allocation, three project types, role-mismatch detection, and manager-view-driven decisions. Conservative (1%) and realistic (2%) are modelled estimates that assume the agency acts on what Saldo surfaces; an agency that does not act on the data recovers nothing, regardless of which tool produced it. The 3% reference point is the measured outcome at the founding 120-person digital agency where Saldo’s founder deployed it internally during his time as CTO (two years in production). Your numbers will differ.
Client portfolio LTV. The right-hand tile is the agency’s annual revenue multiplied by a 3-year median client tenure. We use 3 years as a deliberately conservative anchor: the ANA / 4A’s 2025 client-agency tenure study reports a 3.7-year average for media-only relationships and 7.3 years for full-service integrated agencies, and Practiq’s 2026 boutique-agency benchmark places the median at 3–5 years. Active client accounts are estimated at one per 6 production staff — Saldo’s own heuristic, calibrated against Sakas & Company’s recommended portfolio size of 10–20 active accounts for a mid-market digital shop, which lines up with our ratio across 60–120 production staff. LTV is a frame, not a forecast: it is the figure most CFOs track intuitively as “what is at stake if all of this stops working”, and it is the right denominator for comparing a tooling line against a multi-year revenue commitment.
Currency conversion. Saldo is billed in GBP (£2,499/month flat). Other currencies on this calculator are spot-converted at the HMRC May 2026 published monthly rates: 1 GBP = $1.3502 USD, €1.1575 EUR, A$1.8879 AUD. Your bank’s settlement rate on invoice day will differ by ±2–3%; the ROI ratio is invariant under that drift.
Saldo is a layer on top of Jira, not a replacement for anything you already use. We read worklogs from native Jira time-tracking, from any Marketplace time-tracker, or from a mix — whichever your team is on today, the trial works the same way. Below 20 staff with uniform projects and a narrow senior–junior rate gap, native Jira worklogs already answer the questions a financial layer is meant to answer; that is the right place to be. From 20–30 staff onwards, with mixed Dev / Support / Internal work and overhead that no longer rounds to zero, the same worklogs need a different shape of analysis — and that is the shape Saldo earns its keep providing.
Where Saldo fits in the Jira financials picture.
Saldo is not a financial plugin and not a PSA replacement. It is a separate analysis layer that sits on top of whatever you are already doing for time tracking — and adds the five things the rest of the landscape does not.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Saldo is not the cheapest option. It earns its keep when overhead distortion, three project types, role-mismatch leaks or PM surveillance concerns matter. Below 20 staff with a uniform project structure, native Jira worklogs and a light month-end roll-up are usually enough. From 20–30 staff onwards, with mixed Dev / Support / Internal work, the five categories pay back faster than the subscription costs — and the LTV maths against your client portfolio start to make the subscription line look like rounding error.
