Software valuation
What is the rebuild cost of your software ?
Here is a quick calculation tool that will give you a rough idea of the value of your software, based on its main technical characteristics, the profile of your team of developers, and the volume of code. This approach is only intended to provide basic information and estimates. It does not constitute expert advice!
Indeed, code volume is not always the most relevant way of looking at the value of software. Poorly optimized âtalkativeâ code does not have the same value as thrifty, optimized code. The language and complexity of the code also play a fundamental role, as does the framework.

The calculation tool below is a beta version based on a rating from 1 to 5 of various generic criteria, according to the calibration proposed by clicking on the information icon.
For your data, enter the number of lines of code in your software, then the average annual productivity of your developers and their average salary.
For example, a competent developer, using a standard programming language (excluding verbose web languages), can enter around 10,000 lines of optimized and commented code in 1 year (excluding comments, lines from open source components or third-party services, and excluding AI-generated code). Similarly, average salaries vary widely depending on the developer’s level of skill, experience, and location! In France, in 2024, they can vary from 27 k⏠to almost 90 k⏠gross per year, i.e. loaded salaries of between 40 and 125 kâŹ.
