Automation ROI calculator

Put a number on the hours you already lose.

Adjust the assumptions to match your business. The arithmetic is transparent, the inputs are yours, and nothing is submitted anywhere.

Inputs

Illustrative result

2,808

hours of capacity recovered per year

$182,520

illustrative annual labor-capacity value

54 hours back per week · 234 per month

Labor-capacity value is not automatically equivalent to realized cash savings. It represents time redirected to higher-value work, valued at a loaded hourly rate. Actual results depend on process suitability, adoption, and how the recovered capacity is used.

What this does and doesn't say

Read the caveats before the number.

  • The calculation is arithmetic, not a forecast. It multiplies your inputs by an assumed recovery rate.
  • Labor-capacity value is not automatically equivalent to realized cash savings. It represents time redirected to higher-value work.
  • Real recovery depends on process suitability, exception volume, adoption, and how the recovered capacity is used.
  • We use 52 working weeks per year and a default loaded cost of 65/hour, both of which you can change.

The assessment adds the operational context: which workflows, which systems, and what to build first.
