What will this calculator tell you?

Money you could save

How much your manual work costs every year, and how much of it automation can take away.

Time your team gets back

Hours freed from repetitive work, so your people can focus on customers and growth.

How fast it pays off

The "payback period": how many months until the savings cover what you spent on automation.

What is ROI? ROI (Return on Investment) answers one simple question: "If we spend money on automation, how much do we get back, and how soon?" Think of any task your team does by hand again and again: approvals, data entry, reports, follow-ups. Enter it below.

1 Describe the manual task

Not sure? Start with an example:
Best for approvals, reminders, notifications and moving data between systems automatically.
Staff involved, even part-time
Time each person spends on it
Salary plus overheads, divided by working hours. A rough average is fine.
One-time cost. Not sure? Keep the suggested figure: you can refine it with us later.
Fine-tune (optional)
Most routine tasks can be 60–80% automated. Some human checking usually remains.
Ongoing Microsoft licences and maintenance, if any.
