Put a value on the time your team could reclaim. See what an automation would need to earn back its cost.

Include implementation, subscriptions, usage, and ongoing support. Enter 0 only if a cost is genuinely zero. All amounts use USD.

Reclaimed time becomes cash savings only when actual spending falls. Payback here uses the value of available staff time, not guaranteed cash returns. Review, exceptions, and maintenance can reduce the time recovered.

Time, not revenue
Monthly hours reclaimed = weekly hours per person × people × assumed recovery × 52 ÷ 12. The estimate uses a 52-week year, before holidays or seasonal changes.
Costs count
Monthly time value = reclaimed hours × hourly staff cost. Payback = setup cost ÷ monthly value after running costs, only when that monthly value is positive.
A starting point
First-year ROI = (12 months of value after running costs − setup cost) ÷ setup cost. It is a time-value estimate, not a financial forecast. No email required; your inputs are not saved or sent to us.
