Buy or Lease Your IPv4 Addresses?

Network planning is difficult. Uncertain future needs and marketplace volatility make predictions challenging. We can’t predict your future. But we can describe your options.

This calculator compares the costs to lease or buy addresses from IPv4.Global. To use it, simply specify the number of addresses needed and the time in months they are required.

The calculator will show the monthly rate IPv4.Global will charge for the smallest block available that fulfills the need specified. It will also show a set up fee if one is charged and the total cost of the lease for the entire term as entered. This will be shown in comparison to the purchase of the same size block.

The last row on the calculator shows the length of a lease where the total leasing expense is the same as the purchase price.

*Costs used in this calculator are approximate and are derived from recent activity on the IPv4 Marketplace and Leasing Hub.
