Transparent assumptions

Total cores: topology mode: hosts × sockets per host × cores per socket; absolute mode: total cores
Total sockets: topology mode: hosts × sockets per host; absolute mode: total sockets
License annual cost: unit price × selected metric quantity: cores or sockets
Total annual cost: license annual cost + additional annual costs
Annual savings: current annual cost − target annual cost
Payback years: one-time costs ÷ annual savings
Net savings: annual savings × years − one-time costs
ROI %: net savings ÷ one-time costs × 100
