Audit Cost & Risk Calculator
Put your own numbers against our published rates. Every figure below is either a rate from our price list or an estimate you control — nothing is hidden in the arithmetic. Built for manufacturers of all kinds: chemical, automotive, industrial and beyond.
Your Estimates
Certification already suspended? That needs the Audit Rescue Package — .
At the published rate of £650 per on-site day. Remote half-days are £375. No travel charge in Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire or London; elsewhere it's 45p a mile from Brighton plus accommodation at cost where an overnight stay is needed.
Think lost contracts, remediation time and re-audit fees. Only you know this number — we don't pretend to.
The default just reflects your certification status — adjust it to your own judgement.
Assumes findings are actually closed out — an audit you shelve removes nothing.

Internal Audit Cover vs hiring a full-time quality manager
£45,360/yr difference
Internal Audit Cover at the published £220/month (£2,640/year) against a typical UK QA manager salary of £48,000. Different scopes — Internal Audit Cover is not a full-time hire — but for many SMEs it covers what's actually needed.
How this is calculated
Rates (£650/day, £375 remote half-day, £220/month Internal Audit Cover) are our published prices. The incident cost, likelihood and risk-reduction figures are your estimates, set on the sliders — this tool does no more than the arithmetic on them. It's an aid to thinking, not a promise of savings.
