What's in the Number
Three parts make up Okta total cost of ownership. Only one of them shows up on the Okta quote.
Yearly License
Your annual Okta subscription. Okta bills annually per user, so this line stays steady year over year unless your headcount changes.
Year 1 Setup (20%)
One-time deployment: SSO, MFA, directory integration, app onboarding, and policy configuration — estimated at 20% of your yearly license cost.
Ongoing Support (~7%)
From Year 2 on, support covers new app integrations, policy changes, and admin help — about 7% of your yearly license cost.

Okta Cost Questions, Answered
What goes into Okta total cost of ownership and how to budget for it.
What is the total cost of ownership for Okta?
Okta total cost of ownership is your yearly license plus a one-time setup cost in Year 1 and ongoing support after that. With setup estimated at 20% of the license and support at about 7% per year, a $10,000 yearly license comes to roughly $12,000 in Year 1 and $10,700 each year after.
Why is Year 1 more expensive than later years?
Year 1 includes the one-time deployment: connecting your directory, configuring SSO and MFA, onboarding apps, and setting security policies. After launch, you only pay the license plus a smaller ongoing support cost.
Does Okta offer monthly billing?
No. Okta is licensed annually, per user. Multi-year terms are available but are typically paid upfront, so plan the license as an annual line item.
Is this calculator a quote?
No. It is an estimate for illustration. Your final quote depends on user count, the Okta products you need, the number of apps, and integration scope such as HR-driven provisioning.
