What’s NOT included in the estimate?

The calculator covers code-side upgrade work only. It does not include:

• Hosting / infra changes, PHP 8.3 upgrade on the server, MySQL 8.0 migration, OpenSearch, Redis 7, Varnish 7. If your hosting is managed (Cloudways, Nexcess, JetRails, MageMojo) this is usually free; if self-hosted, add $400, $2,500.
• Theme migration, Luma → Hyvä is a separate project ($15k, $45k). The calculator’s “Hyvä yes” toggle assumes you’re already on Hyvä and adds compat-checking cost.
• New extension licences, if a vendor has gone silent and you need to swap to a different extension, the new licence cost is yours.
• Adobe Commerce licence renewal, if you’re on Adobe Commerce, your licence cost is independent.
• Content + design changes, Page Builder content rework, new homepage design, photo shoots, copywriting.
• Data cleanup, deleting orphaned customers, archiving old orders, deduplicating SKUs. Done as a separate engagement if needed.
• Post-launch retainer, calculator covers the upgrade itself + 14 days of bug-fix support. Ongoing retainer ($1.5k, $5k/mo) is separate.
