Introduction

This interactive calculator allows you to estimate the costs required to conduct your planned post-market surveillance study based on input data that you provide and explicit assumptions. The results are meant to be indicative and to be used only as a guide.

The tool assumes that a generic PMS study entails three phases: preparing the study collecting the medicine samples and reporting the results.

In the 'Toolkit' tab there are three tabs that ask you for information on expected resources to be used in each of these three phases.

The Results section produces a summary of expected costs based on the information you have provided.
