Compare and learn – IT Budget surveys from North America

Kordel

SpiceWorks (a provider of ad-based systems management software) has published an insightful article titled “The State of IT”. The survey was conducted on 1100 IT administrators and managers, across primarily Small and Medium Businesses (0-99 employees). The resulting data is fascinating, and can provide valuable context within which Business Leaders can easily evaluate their own IT Budgets and approach to technology spending as a whole.

Some key findings for Small Business (less than 19 Employees)

  • Average annual IT Budget on a per-employee basis was $2770 (or $230.83/mo)
    • (This includes Hardware, Software, IT Staff salaries, Outside IT Consultants, and IT Services such as Managed Services, Internet and Telephone Services)
  • The average IT Staff was 2.5 (full time) employees

For Medium Businesses (20-100 Employees), survey respondents reported

  • Average annual IT Budget on a per-employee basis of $1993 (or $166.08/mo)
  • The average IT Staff was 2.3 (full time) employees

Other research from Alinean Inc reports that SMB’s with revenues under $50 million per year spend an average of 6.9% of their annual revenue on their IT Budget.
