Organization chart program
- What redrawing it by hand costs a year
- $228
- Boxes the chart needs
- 128
- Managers the span implies
- 15
These sheets have no constants. Every number is worked from the figures you enter: the headcount, the span of control, the people at the top, the contractors, the redraws and the minutes each takes, the profile fields and how complete they are, the lookups a week, the minutes a lookup takes, the hourly costs, the joiners and leavers, and the dotted-line share, count, check-in length and interval. The defaults are one 120-person company's worked example, not a benchmark this site publishes.
A program that draws an organization chart is easy to find; a program that still has the right chart in six months is not, and the difference is whether it keeps people or pictures. This page is the comparison worth running before you install anything: what the chart costs to keep by hand today, what the shape of your company actually is, and which of the two problems the program you are looking at solves. On the worked example redrawing a 128-box chart four times a year takes six hours and costs $228 of somebody's time, which is the number a licence is measured against.

Cost the way you do it now
Redraws a year times the minutes each takes over sixty is the hours; times the hourly cost is the money. On the worked example four redraws of ninety minutes at $38 an hour is six hours and $228 a year, about $1.78 per box on the chart.
Work out the shape the company implies
At a span of seven, 120 people imply 15 managers and 105 individual contributors, and the top four leaders reach 228 people within three layers, so four layers hold the company. A program that cannot tell you that is a drawing tool.
Decide whether you need a drawing or a directory
If the chart changes twice a year and nobody looks anybody up, a drawing tool is enough. If people join, move and leave twenty-eight times a year and the extension list is already wrong, the chart is a view of a directory and the directory is the product.
Questions people ask about the Organization chart program
Does it export to a slide or a PDF? Yes, on the paid plan, with your logo and colours on it rather than ours. The exported file is a copy of the chart at that moment; the workspace keeps the version it came from.
Does it run offline? The free sheets compute in your browser and send nothing to us, so they work with the network off. The workspace needs a connection because it keeps the records.
How big a company does it handle? It is built for roughly 20 to 500 people. Above that a chart is usually one department at a time, which the workspace does, but the pricing and the shape are aimed at the smaller company.
