Projected ROI & Payback
When your modernization investment pays for itself and what you save every year after that.
Risk Score
A data-driven assessment of what happens if your VB6 system fails, based on bus factor, age, and criticality.

Questions
Common questions
Is this actually free? What's the catch?
Yes, it’s free. You can go through the entire calculator and see a preview of your results without entering any information. To unlock the full report with investment range, payback period, and ROI projections, we ask for your name, company, and email. That’s it.
How accurate are the results?
The cost ranges are calibrated to our actual VB6 project history across hundreds of modernization engagements over 25 years. These are directional planning numbers, not a formal quote. Actual pricing requires a detailed technical discovery of your specific system.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll see your full report immediately — no waiting on us. If the numbers make sense to act on, we're happy to talk through specifics on your application. You can also see our VB6 migration process and timeline if you want to look at what an actual project looks like before reaching out.
What if I don't know some of the numbers it asks for?
Most questions include “Help me calculate this” sections that walk you through building up a number from what you do know, like headcount, salaries, and percent of time on the legacy system. For technical questions about codebase size, we include estimation guides based on things you can count, like number of screens or compiled file size.
Does this only work for VB6?
The calculator works for Visual FoxPro, VB6, Delphi, MS Access, and other legacy platforms. The formulas account for your specific application profile regardless of the underlying technology.
Who built this?
Ticomix has been building and modernizing custom software since 2001. We’ve led modernization projects for organizations ranging from the U.S. House of Representatives to Schneider National. This calculator reflects the business cases and cost models we’ve developed over more than two decades of real-world projects.
