Automation ROI Calculator

Enter one manual task, and get a rough estimate of what it's costing you monthly and annually — and how much of that you could realistically recover by automating it.

Hours per week spent on this task (across everyone who does it)

Hourly cost of the person(s) doing it

Not sure? $25/hr is a reasonable default for a blended admin/staff rate — adjust to whatever fits your business.

Estimated % of this time you'd recover by automating 60%

Many businesses recover roughly 60-80% of the time spent on a manual task after automating it — rarely 100%, since some human review or exception-handling usually remains. Slide it lower if you want a more conservative estimate.

This is an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee. It's based on the numbers and assumption you entered above, not on data from any specific automation project. Actual results depend on the task, the tools used, and how it's implemented. We do not claim automation eliminates 100% of manual time — some tasks will always need a person to review edge cases.
