Transparent calculator

Estimate the value of automating one workflow

Use your own steady-state assumptions. The calculator separates labor capacity from cash savings, defaults labor cash realization to 0%, keeps one currency label throughout, and does not require contact details.

Context

Calculation convention

First-year ROI = (12 × monthly net cash benefit − one-time implementation cost) ÷ (implementation cost + 12 × monthly recurring solution cost) × 100. It is shown only when the denominator is positive.

Action

Limits

This simplified steady-state estimate omits ramp-up, financing, tax, and any costs not entered. Reassigned time does not become cash savings unless a supported expenditure change is represented by the realization percentage. Avoid entering that same saving again as other cash savings.

Illustrative result

Simplified steady-state estimate from the visible assumptions.

Monthly hours released70.0 hours

Monthly labor capacity value$2,100

Estimated realized labor savings$0

Monthly net cash benefit-$500

Simple paybackNo payback under these assumptions

First-year net benefit-$18,000

First-year ROI-100.0%

Capacity and cash are intentionally separate. This omits ramp-up, financing, tax, and unentered costs; do not double-count savings.
