How this calculator works

This is the open Valiido estimation model for TISAX® costs - not a hidden black box. Fixed fees: ENX® registration 405 € net per location and scope, plus the audit fee (AL2 ~2,900 €, AL3 ~10,000 €); these apply in every case. External consulting: from the consultant hours (around 70 to 400 by size) at 225 € per hour; with a consultant your internal effort drops by about 55% versus in-house. Internal effort is tracked in hours - it hits decision-makers and the people doing the work alike; you can optionally convert it to money at an hourly rate. Time savings are calculated against the in-house option. Preparation effort and ongoing upkeep rise with company size along a curve. With Valiido the external consulting drops out and internal effort falls by up to 80% versus doing it in-house; you only pay the subscription (149 € per month up to 50 employees, then 299 €). Re-assessment = audit fee × 0.8, every three years. Basis: data from 700+ Valiido projects (as of 2026); figures are net. Non-binding estimate - your actual cost depends on scope, locations, company size and assessment level.
