	Year Ended December 31, 2017		Estimated Remaining Costs		Estimated Total Cost ⁽¹⁾
Workforce reduction	$	299	$	151	$	450
Technology rationalization ⁽²⁾	33		97		130

Actual costs, when incurred, may vary due to changes in the assumptions built into the Restructuring Plan. Significant assumptions that may change when plans are finalized and implemented include, but are not limited to, changes in severance calculations, changes in the assumptions underlying sublease loss calculations due to changing market conditions, and changes in the overall analysis that might cause the Company to add or cancel component initiatives.

Contract termination costs included within Technology rationalization for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $1 million. Contract termination costs included within Lease consolidations for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $8 million. Contract termination costs included within Other costs associated with restructuring and separation were $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.
