How this calculator works: The ranges come from real engagement pricing across hundreds of pentests Affordable Pentesting and partner firms have delivered. Variables that drive cost: scope component count, application complexity, compliance framework reporting requirements, and re-test inclusion. The calculator gives a realistic range, not a fixed price. Final quotes vary based on environment specifics.

Why we made this public: Pentest pricing has been opaque for decades. Vendors quote without methodology. Buyers cannot benchmark. We are publishing real ranges to make procurement easier for buyers and to filter for vendors who can defend their pricing.
