Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium - which licence should I choose?

The main question is which licence will be good for 120 person in organization.

 

I have 10 people who will be a report creators and 110 will be only a viewers.

10 persons use a Desktop solution for creating reports and publishing them in Powe BI service. In this case they should have a PRO licence only?

110 will be a on-line viewers. What about licence for them? PRO will be enought? 

How can I estimate when Premium version will be better? Here https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/calculator/ Premium version is added automatically no matter how many users I enter.

@Anonymous Premium will support a whole host of things for you. Paginated reports, dataflows (full features), capacity, large datasets, etc. So if you look at it as not just the report surfacing cost, but plan on offloading or making your data backend be supported in the Premium capacity then it could justify the cost. If you don't need all the bells and whistles, maybe just going "Pro" for everyone is a better fit. Another alterantive would be to embed reports in an application (but this increases dev time, limits functionality to some degree but is an option.) You aren't there in terms of just the head count to use Power BI to need it, but I would recommend you dig into everything premium does give you to weight the pro's and con's as well as leverage all that you get with it.
