Estimated TCO
Your current calculation of ~$1,680/month for 100 Power BI Pro users is correct, but it only covers the license layer of TCO. If you stay on Pro with shared capacity, there is no direct infrastructure cost, so your baseline is accurate for a small-scale setup. However, you should consider potential future costs such as Fabric/Premium capacity, especially if performance, data volume, or refresh limits become an issue.
