What is the Automation ROI Calculator?
This calculator estimates the value of automating repetitive work. Enter the number of people, weekly hours spent, their monthly cost and the share you could automate. It returns hours freed, monthly and yearly savings and the months to recover the one-time cost.
How it works
Hours per month equal people times weekly hours times 4.33, then the automatable share is applied. Hourly cost equals monthly cost per person divided by 173 hours. Monthly saving is hours freed times hourly cost. Payback months equal the one-time cost divided by the monthly saving.
How to use it
- Enter how many people do the task and the weekly hours each spends.
- Enter the monthly cost per person.
- Estimate the share of the work that can be automated.
- Enter the one-time cost of the automation.
Automation ROI Calculator — FAQ
Is the saving guaranteed?
No. It is an estimate from your own inputs. Real results depend on how much of the process is rule-based and how well it is built.
Where do 4.33 weeks and 173 hours come from?
A month averages about 4.33 weeks, and about 173 working hours is a common figure for a full-time monthly cost. They are fixed assumptions in this tool.
What should I include in the one-time cost?
Include setup, development, licences you must buy up front and training. Leave out ongoing monthly fees, or account for them by lowering the automatable share.
