Cost Per Line of Code Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cost Per Line of Code (CPLC) is:

\[ CPLC = \frac{TC}{LC} \]

Where:

$ CPLC $ is the Cost Per Line of Code ($/line)
$ TC $ is the total cost ($)
$ LC $ is the number of lines of code

What is Cost Per Line of Code?

Cost Per Line of Code (CPLC) is a metric used to determine the cost efficiency of software development. It calculates the cost associated with writing each line of code, helping to assess the financial impact of coding efforts.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost (TC) = $10,000
Number of Lines of Code (LC) = 5,000

Using the formula to calculate the cost per line of code:

\[ CPLC = \frac{10000}{5000} = 2 \]

The Cost Per Line of Code (CPLC) is $2 per line.
