Enter your annual communications spend. The calculator applies a cautious 17% indicative assumption, based on Edunet's approved benchmarks for UK schools. The result is strictly indicative. Final outcomes depend on your current contracts and supplier confirmation. No school-specific data is used unless you provide it.

We will discuss your actual contracts and circumstances without any obligation, and help you understand whether a change could be beneficial. The process is designed to be straightforward and school-friendly.
