Windows Azure Platform TCO/ROI Comparison Tool
The folks from Alinean have developed a very comprehensive and detailed TCO/ROI comparison tool for the Microsoft Windows Azure Platform. You can access the tool at
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/tco/
This tool does an excellent job of calculating the TCO/ROI of hosting an existing application on the Windows Azure Platform as compared to running the application on-premise. In doing this it considers not only the cost of operation but the entire application life-cycle.
This includes planning, acquisition, setup and installation, management and support, evolution and retirement of the application. In the case of an existing on-premise application it also considers the cost of migrating the application.
