Enterprise mobility true cost calculator.
Carrier offers are built from moving parts — plan rates, line-count tiers, discounts, credits, bonuses, device pricing, and BYOD incentives — and the advertised rate is never the real number. Enter each offer below, including its own term, and see the true monthly cost per line, side by side.
The true cost, side by side.
Estimates only. This tool produces estimates based on the numbers you enter. It is not a quote, not an offer, and not a guarantee of pricing or savings. Carrier promotions change frequently and vary by agreement, credit approval, and negotiation. Taxes and surcharges are excluded — they vary by jurisdiction and apply similarly across carriers. Unravyl Advisors provides this tool for planning purposes; actual costs depend on the specific offers available to your organization.

What this calculator accounts for.
Enterprise mobility offers are assembled from parts that never appear in one number: published rates discounted by percentage or bought down with monthly credits, line-count tiers that set pricing for the whole account, activation fees and the credits that offset them — sometimes only for lines activated inside a promo window — device pricing across installment, upfront, and contract structures, promo credits paid out monthly over the term, BYOD credits off the plan rate, and one-time and annual bonuses. This calculator applies every one of them and produces the number the carriers don’t show: the true cost per line, per month, across the full term.
What this calculator accounts for.
Carriers price to win the comparison you’re allowed to see. The advertised per-line rate excludes activation fees, assumes every credit applies to every line, and says nothing about how device promo credits are paid — usually as monthly bill credits spread across 36 months, which means leaving early forfeits the remainder. That structure isn’t an accident; it’s retention. Comparing offers on the advertised rate is comparing the part of the deal each carrier most wants you to look at. The true cost per line per month, calculated across everything, is the only number that compares offers honestly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a quote?
No. It's an estimate built entirely from the numbers you enter. Actual pricing depends on your agreement, credit approval, and negotiation — which is exactly why the calculator lets you enter the offer in front of you instead of prefilled carrier rates.
Why don't you call this the net effective rate?
That's carrier-side language. Buyers don't think in "net effective rates" — they want to know what the deal actually costs per line, per month, after everything. That's what this calculates, so that's what it's called.
What about taxes and surcharges?
Excluded, deliberately. They vary by jurisdiction and apply roughly equally across carriers, so including them would add noise without changing the comparison.
Can I compare my current plan against new offers?
Yes — enter your current plan as one of the offers. Use your actual rate, and zero out the credits and bonuses you've already burned through. The comparison shows what switching is really worth.
