IT Cost Benefit Analysis Template
A financial analysis tool to evaluate IT investment returns by comparing costs and benefits across multiple years using NPV calculations.
This comprehensive IT Cost Benefit Analysis template helps organizations assess the financial viability of IT investments. It calculates Net Present Value (NPV) and Discounted NPV across multiple years (Year 1, 2, and 3) to determine whether an IT project or system delivers sufficient returns. The template includes dedicated sheets for cost and benefit data entry, setup parameters (such as tax rates and discount factors), and automated calculations that summarize results in a helper sheet. Users can input detailed cost categories and benefit descriptions, with the template automatically computing financial metrics to support decision-making on IT investments.
