✦ Within benchmark
Your current spend sits at or below the industry benchmark range. You may still benefit from identifying unused licenses and duplicate tools — that's a different question than total spend.
✦ The benchmark
Where the numbers come from.
Industry data consistently puts the average per-employee SaaS bill between $150 and $200 per month, with significant variance by industry. Tech firms push toward $200+; education organizations trend below $120.
Company size matters but the relationship isn't linear. Small firms spend more per employee because fixed-cost tools amortize over fewer users; enterprises benefit from volume discounts but accumulate tool sprawl that eats those savings back.
Independent of size, third-party studies consistently find 25–35% of SaaS spending wasted on unused, duplicated, or overprovisioned subscriptions. The benchmark range above accounts for typical waste — being above it suggests structural overspend; being well below it sometimes indicates under-investment.
