Why use this

What this tool gives you

Turns hours-per-week spent on manual work into a real monthly cost figure.

Shows payback period in months, not just a vague percentage.

Projects 3-year net return so you can justify the investment internally.

Works for any automation, AI or SaaS investment — not tied to one product.

We'll help validate these numbers against a real automation or AI scope.

FAQ

Questions people ask before using this

What counts as the 'current monthly cost' of a manual process?+

It's the fully-loaded cost of the people-hours currently spent on the task: team size × hours per week × hourly cost. Use a fully-loaded hourly rate (salary plus overhead), not just base pay.

What efficiency gain percentage should I use?+

60–80% is typical for well-scoped automation of a genuinely repetitive process. Use a lower number (20–40%) if the process still needs meaningful human review.

What if my payback period shows as N/A?+

That means the ongoing cost of the solution currently exceeds your projected monthly savings — try a lower monthly cost, a higher efficiency gain, or a smaller pilot scope.
