Product Development Cost Calculator

Intro:

The purpose of Product Development is to get a return on your investment — or a positive ROI. To calculate the ROI, we need to know the project cost. This cost tool helps estimate a project cost in the early stages of product development.

Description:

In the early stages of product development, there is an idea and some market validation. It will cost money to take the idea any further. How do you know this money is a good investment? Is there any way to de-risk this investment?

In order to know the ROI of a product development project, one must know the cost of the product and value of the product.
