The following is an estimation as to how much it would cost to write Splashy from scratch using normal proprietary development methods. This was generated using David A. Wheeler's 'SLOCCount'.

Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC)                = 7,011
Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 1.55 (18.55)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05))
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months)                         = 0.63 (7.58)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38))
Estimated Average Number of Developers (Effort/Schedule)  = 2.45
Total Estimated Cost to Develop                           = $ 208,790
 (average salary = $56,286/year, overhead = 2.40).
