Step 1
Your manual tasks
Start from an example or enter your own. Hours are per person, per week. Hourly cost should include salary and overhead; if you are not sure, a loaded cost of 1.3 × the hourly wage is a common rule of thumb.
48 allows for holidays and leave.

How it works
The math, in full
No hidden factors. Every number above comes from these three steps.
01
Hours / year = hours per week × people × working weeks02
Annual cost = hours / year × hourly cost03
Savings = annual cost × share that could be automated. Payback = investment ÷ monthly savings.This is an estimate, not a quote. Real savings depend on how consistent the task is, the systems involved, and how the time returned is used.
