VMware Core Estimator
Use the VMware Core Estimator to quickly calculate per-core subscription costs for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and vSphere editions. Enter the number of hosts, sockets per host, and cores per socket to see annual and multi-year cost projections across VCF, vSphere Enterprise Plus, and vSphere Standard tiers. The tool applies Broadcom's published per-core pricing and automatically enforces minimum-core requirements per CPU. Results update instantly so you can compare configurations side by side, adjust host counts for planned growth, and export estimates for budget proposals. Ideal for IT managers evaluating VMware renewal quotes, planning data-centre expansions, or preparing migration business cases. All calculations run locally in your browser — no data is transmitted externally.
