Enter three numbers about your team and see a projection of the hours and cost recoverable through automation. Takes 60 seconds.
The calculator uses three inputs — team size, average hours spent on manual tasks per week, and average hourly cost — to project how many hours and how much cost a well-scoped automation system can recover over 12 months. The output is a range, not a guarantee, but it gives you a concrete starting point for deciding whether automation investment makes financial sense for your team right now.
Total headcount across your operations
Repetitive tasks per person each week
Fully-loaded cost including overhead
* Applies a 40% automation capture rate, the industry benchmark for repeatable manual work.
How It Works
The calculator takes three inputs and produces a 12-month projection. It is designed to give you a fast, directional view of what automation could be worth — not a detailed financial model.
Team size
How many people on your team spend time on manual, repetitive tasks each week. This includes operations, admin, customer success, sales, and any role where data entry or handoffs happen regularly.
Hours per week on manual tasks
The average number of hours each person spends on tasks that could be automated — data entry, status updates, copy-pasting between tools, manual notifications, or following up on incomplete workflows.
Average hourly cost
The fully loaded cost per hour for those team members. This is not just salary — it includes benefits, overhead, and the opportunity cost of having skilled people spend time on work that does not require their expertise.
Report
After you enter your numbers, you receive a summary via email. The report is designed to give you a concrete starting point for deciding whether automation investment makes financial sense for your team right now.
12-month projection
A range estimate of the hours and cost recoverable over 12 months through well-scoped automation. The range accounts for variable implementation complexity and adoption timelines across different types of workflows.
Top automation opportunities
Based on your inputs, the report identifies the types of workflows most likely to deliver the highest ROI for your team size and cost structure. This gives you a prioritised starting point, not just a number.
FAQ
Is this a guarantee?
No. The output is a projection based on industry benchmarks and our experience across dozens of similar engagements. Your actual results will depend on the specific workflows, data quality, and implementation scope.
Do I need to know my exact numbers?
No. Estimates work fine. The calculator is designed for speed, not precision. If you know roughly how many hours your team spends on manual tasks each week and what those people cost, that is enough to get a useful directional view.
What happens after I get the report?
The report is yours to keep. If the numbers look interesting, the next step is a 30-minute strategy call where we map your actual workflows and build a more detailed picture of what automation would look like for your specific business.
Is this really free?
Yes. The calculator and report are free. No credit card, no signup wall, no sales follow-up unless you book a call. We built this because most businesses do not have a fast way to estimate what their manual work is actually costing them.
