ERP Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator
Estimate the real, multi-year cost of an Odoo ERP for your UAE business — software, implementation, customization, training, support and infrastructure — in AED, instantly.
Why total cost of ownership matters
The licence fee is only the tip of the iceberg. The price you pay over three to five years is dominated by implementation, customization, training, support and infrastructure — and a low sticker price can hide a far higher TCO. Comparing ERP options on first-year licensing alone is how UAE businesses end up over budget. This calculator brings every cost component into one transparent AED figure so you can plan, budget and compare like-for-like before you commit.
Figures are indicative benchmarks for planning only — not a quote. Actual costs depend on your processes, data, integrations and scope. Get a precise figure from Oakland below.

Each input below maps to a real cost driver. Here is how we model them — every assumption is editable in the calculator.
Software & licences
Per-user subscription (Cloud) or licence (On-Premise), charged annually across your chosen time horizon. The single largest recurring line for most teams.
Implementation
A one-time project cost that scales with complexity (Basic, Standard, Complex) and the number of modules you go live with — more modules mean more configuration and testing.
Customization
One-time development to fit Odoo to your processes — from light tweaks (Low) to bespoke workflows, reports and integrations (High).
Training
A one-time investment in user adoption, scaled to headcount so your team actually uses the system from go-live.
Support & maintenance
A recurring share of your software spend for updates, fixes and a support SLA. Premium tiers add faster response and a dedicated point of contact.
Hosting & infrastructure
Cloud hosting per user per year, or — for On-Premise — an upfront server investment plus ongoing maintenance and power.
ERP TCO calculator — FAQ
- ERP TCO is the full cost of owning and running an ERP system over its lifetime — typically 3 to 5 years. It includes software licences or subscriptions, implementation, customization, data migration, training, ongoing support and maintenance, and hosting or infrastructure. Looking at TCO instead of just the licence price gives you the true budget figure.
- Odoo cost in the UAE depends on user count, deployment (Cloud or On-Premise), the modules you need, and how much customization is involved. Software typically runs around AED 1,100–1,320 per user per year, with implementation from roughly AED 15,000 for a basic setup to AED 120,000+ for complex projects. Use the calculator above for an indicative all-in figure, then request a precise quote from Oakland.
- For most UAE SMEs and mid-market companies, yes. Odoo typically lands at a meaningfully lower total cost of ownership than legacy ERPs — driven by lower per-user licensing, faster implementation, and a modular all-in-one platform. Our calculator shows an indicative comparison of roughly 1.6× for a comparable legacy ERP, though exact savings depend on scope.
- The calculator gives an indicative benchmark based on transparent, editable assumptions tuned to the UAE market — not a binding quote. Real-world costs vary with your processes, data quality, integrations, number of legal entities and reporting needs. Treat the output as a planning baseline, then book a scoping call with Oakland for a precise, fixed-price proposal.
- An Odoo implementation cost typically covers business analysis and process mapping, configuration of the chosen modules, data migration from your old system, custom development and integrations, user training, testing, and go-live support. Oakland delivers fixed-price implementation packages so there are no surprises after kickoff.
