Common questions
- How does the ROI calculator work?
- You enter the time a process currently takes, how often it runs, the loaded hourly cost of the people doing it, and the expected cost of automating it. It returns the payback period and annual return, so you can compare candidates on the same basis.
- How accurate is the result?
- It is as accurate as your inputs, which is the honest answer. Its value is in comparing options consistently rather than producing a precise forecast. The most common error is underestimating ongoing maintenance, so include it.
- What counts as a good payback period?
- For most small and mid-sized businesses, automation that pays back within a year is worth serious consideration and anything under six months is usually compelling. Beyond eighteen months, the assumptions rarely survive contact with reality.
- Do I need to enter my email to use it?
- No. The calculator runs entirely on the page and requires nothing from you.
