About Startup Money Tools
Startup Money Tools is a small collection of practical calculators for startup operating decisions: AI subscription ROI, AI API token cost, API/server cost, salary take-home estimates, and first-year hiring cost.
Purpose
The site helps founders, developers, and operators turn common cost questions into rough numbers before they commit to a subscription, cloud service, pricing plan, or hire.
Method
Each calculator uses transparent inputs and simple formulas. Inputs are reflected in the URL so scenarios can be shared or reviewed later.
Limits
Results are estimates. They are not financial, tax, payroll, legal, or procurement advice. Always confirm official vendor pricing, payroll rules, tax tables, and contracts before making a decision.
