12-month ROI
$5,888 a year in reclaimed time, with a coverage-sensitivity range of $4,784 to $6,992.
hours = people × minutes × runs ÷ 60, ×(1 + rework), × coverage · value = hours × hourly cost · ROI = (yearly value − build cost) ÷ build cost
The economics work. This is exactly the kind of workflow worth building once and running forever.
How it works
- 01
Enter who runs the task, how long it takes, and how often it happens.
- 02
Add the rework rate and how much of it you expect to automate.
- 03
See hours and money saved, break-even, and 12-month ROI — with the formulas shown, not hidden behind an opaque score.
FAQ
- Is anything saved or sent?
- No. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is stored or transmitted. Refreshing clears it.
- How are the numbers calculated?
- Plain, visible formulas you can sanity-check: manual time plus rework, minus what automation covers, valued at your hourly cost, weighed against the one-time build cost.
- What is the implementation cost?
- A one-time estimate to build the automation. Leave it at zero to see gross savings only, without break-even or ROI.
