Created a system that took report requests from a mainframe and ran then on a PC version of the system (saving the company more than double my salary every year). When the IT application support was outsourced (big 3 letter mainframe and PC computer company). The contracted cost per year to support the system that I wrote and up till then was still maintaining was 5 times my annual salary - companies have their own weird logic.



Your salary is not your total cost to the company. Having said that, 5x your salary is a bit high. It may be including other costs.
