How the calculator works

Monthly hours saved = minutes per task × times per week × 4.33 × 80% ÷ 60. We assume 80% of the work is automated, because you'll still review some things.

Monthly value = hours saved × your hourly value. Payback = one-time cost ÷ monthly value.

It leaves out benefits that are harder to count, like fewer mistakes and faster replies to customers. Read the full method in how to calculate the ROI of automation.
