There are many factors that go into determining the cost of IT support. IT spending varies by industry, size, and location. Furthermore, the variance is dominated by company size, with smaller businesses paying substantially more than larger businesses. Despite this bizarre fact, it’s important for all companies, big and small, to obtain IT services that provide the specific support they need to securely operate their business. 

Since the pandemic, the demand for IT support services that cater to companies working from home has majorly increased. Nevertheless, the cost has stayed relatively the same. Let’s take a quick glimpse at a recent survey of IT costs by ZD Net. As of 2019 (before the COVID outbreak), small businesses with fewer than 20 employees could expect to pay an average of $3000 per year for IT labor services across the board and could expect to pay approximately $2000 per year in various per-user software license and subscription fees. After the back-end software, computer hardware, and IT infrastructure is accounted for, the overall budget could end up at around $8000 per employee per year. 

The average cost of IT management services for all industries combined is approximately 3% of revenue. That percentage does vary by industry with manufacturers and retailers spending less and tech-driven companies spending more. Nevertheless, it’s a surprisingly normal average for most types of businesses. However, if your total IT spending is less than 2% or more than 4% of revenue, you may want to contact your IT consultant and request an audit to determine why.
