I haven't tried to figure that out--I lack all the relevant data--but I can tell you, as the Director of IT for my employer, that we just spent $2500 to purchase a Barracuda spam filter appliance (which I'd highly recommend, by the way.. tho I expect it would be overkill to have one at your house. At least for most people!). Prior to that we were paying a couple hundred a month for an outside service. And those were relatively cheap compared to other options I considered. Figure in how much time I spent researching the options, setting stuff up, etc. Blech. I don't feel like doing the math....
