Start the annual budget with a payment calendar. Introductory hosting, renewal, domain and backups can come due at different times. Record each amount, currency, date and source. Compare the first twelve months with a full year after the introduction.
Record charges by term
Use the actual invoice amount, coverage and renewal date. Confirm the period of a monthly advertised price before annualizing it. If payment is collected upfront, record when it is due. Put domain, backups and maintenance on separate lines.
Model the two years separately
Suppose six months cost USD 3 each and six months cost USD 8 each. Hosting totals USD 66. With a USD 14 domain and USD 20 for backups, the first year totals USD 100. At USD 8 monthly thereafter with the same other costs, the next year totals USD 130. These figures illustrate the calculation.
Convert to manat
At an illustrative rate of AZN 1.70 per US dollar, the example totals are AZN 170 and AZN 221. For an actual budget, check the exchange rate on the transaction date and confirm your payment method's rate and fees. Add applicable confirmed taxes and charges separately. An AZN invoice needs no currency conversion.
Include one-off work
Estimate migration, acceptance, maintenance and support. If work is billed in manat, add it after converting foreign currency charges. An illustrative AZN 60 migration increases the first-year example to AZN 230 before other costs. Carry that line into the next year only if the work recurs.
Reconcile the budget after payment
Save the quote and set a reminder before renewal. Compare the actual charge with the estimate. When billing periods differ, compare equivalent twelve-month windows and include staff effort and recovery. Confirm the next term and cancellation conditions before the next payment.
