Website ROI Calculator — Buy vs Build
Compare buying an established site against building one from scratch: payback, first-year ROI and the smarter option.
—Buy — payback (months)
—Buy — year-1 net ($)
—Build — year-1 net ($)
—Verdict
Buying trades capital for speed; building trades time for capital.
How it works
An established site costs more upfront but pays back from day one — payback equals price ÷ monthly net. Building costs less in cash but delays revenue by the launch period and starts at lower profit. The verdict compares first-year net results of both paths on identical inputs.
