How it works

What goes into an IT budget

Most small and midsize organizations spend the bulk of their IT budget in the same few places: people or managed services, software licensing, hardware replacement, security, and backup. Projects and a contingency line keep surprises from wrecking the plan.

Microsoft raised several Microsoft 365 prices on July 1, 2026. The planner uses current list prices, so check your own agreement and adjust if you pay a different rate.

Next steps

Budgeting tips for 2027

Replace hardware on a steady cycle instead of all at once. A four-year replacement cycle spreads the cost evenly and keeps aging machines from failing at the worst time.

Budget security as its own line. Insurers, clients, and regulators increasingly expect controls like MFA, EDR, and tested backups, and those costs are easier to approve when they are visible.

Keep a contingency of 5 to 15 percent. Licensing increases, vendor price changes, and unplanned replacements happen every year.

FAQ

IT Budget Planner for 2027: common questions

How much should a small business spend on IT?

It varies widely by industry and how much you rely on technology. Rather than a percentage of revenue, build the budget from what you actually run: people, devices, software, and security. This planner does exactly that.

Are the managed IT prices in the planner real?

Yes. The support options use WEBIT public pricing: support per computer user plus device management and Security Essentials per device. You can build a more detailed estimate with the managed IT calculator.

Can I change the defaults?

Every number is editable. Replace the defaults with your own quotes, licensing costs, and project estimates.

Is my data saved?

No. The planner runs in your browser. Nothing is stored unless you choose to email the plan to yourself.
