EOY Savings Calculator: Estimate How Much Your Organization Could Save by Acting Now

Enterprise IT and procurement teams are under pressure to make every dollar count. Whether you're planning a software renewal, considering a transition to Atlassian Cloud or bundling licenses with services, the last few months of the fiscal cycle offer more than just a budgeting deadline-they offer real financial opportunity.

At Clovity, we help organizations capture those end-of-year savings by simplifying the procurement process and offering flexible license activation windows. To make this even easier, we’ve introduced a powerful planning tool:

The End-of-Year (EOY) Savings Calculator – a quick way to estimate how much your organization could save by purchasing or renewing Atlassian licenses now rather than later.

In this post, we’ll walk through how the calculator works, the scenarios it supports and why acting now-before the budget window closes-can put your team in a stronger position for 2026.

Why End-of-Year Timing Can Unlock Savings

Most organizations-especially in the U.S. federal, state, education or large enterprise sectors-operate on a fiscal calendar that ends on September 30th. Any unused budget typically cannot be rolled over, leading to a spike in procurement activity between July and September.

But acting fast isn’t just about budget usage-it’s about financial optimization:

• License cost increases happen frequently (Atlassian adjusts pricing annually or when new features are introduced).
• Cloud migration incentives often expire after fiscal quarters.
• Bundled implementation offers are easier to secure when planned ahead.
• Multi-year license savings (10–20% or more) are only available during certain windows.

By using a calculator that simulates these variables, you get a real picture of how your renewal or upgrade decisions will affect spend-before you’re locked in.

What the EOY Savings Calculator Does

The EOY Savings Calculator is designed to help IT, procurement and finance leaders quantify their potential cost avoidance and strategic gains based on timing and licensing structure.

Key Inputs You Can Customize:

• Current Number of Users
• Current Atlassian Products in Use (e.g., Jira Software, Confluence, Bitbucket)
• Current Hosting Type (Server, Data Center, Cloud)
• License Expiry Date
• Target Upgrade Plan (e.g., Cloud Standard to Premium or Data Center to Cloud)
• Preferred License Term (1 Year, 2 Years or 3 Years)
• Estimated Budget Remaining This Fiscal Year

Outputs the Calculator Provides:

• Estimated Price if Renewed Today (with Clovity’s negotiated partner discounts)
• Projected Price if Purchased Next Fiscal Year (based on recent Atlassian trend data)
• Cloud Migration Incentives (if applicable)
• App Consolidation Savings (if you drop plugins post-migration)
• Multi-Year Discount Comparison
• Implementation + Licensing Bundle Options

This gives you a clear picture of the delta between acting now vs delaying.

Built-in Flexibility: Activate Later, Procure Now

The most common objection we hear from IT teams is:
"We don’t have the bandwidth to deploy right now."

That’s why Clovity offers a Buy Now, Start Within 60 Days model.

This means:

• You can finalize procurement before your budget expires
• Choose to activate licenses and services within the next 2 months
• Secure current pricing and partner incentives
• Reserve expert migration or implementation slots before the holiday crunch

No rushed rollouts. No lost budget.

How to Use the Calculator with Your Team

The EOY Savings Calculator works best when used in a short 15–30 minute planning session. Here’s how teams typically use it:

1. IT/Engineering → Inputs current usage and pain points
2. Procurement/Finance → Inputs current spend, renewal cycle and funding deadlines
3. Clovity → Guides product mix, discount eligibility and migration options
4. Executive Sponsor → Uses results to approve early renewal or multi-year commitment

We also provide a downloadable PDF report you can use internally for:

• Board/management approval
• Grant funding documentation
• IT budget forecasting
