How to use the automation roi calculator.
- Describe the task and how often it happens each week.
- Enter how long it takes each time and how many people do it.
- Add the hourly cost per person and how much of the task automation would handle.
- Optionally add setup and monthly tool costs to see payback and ROI.
How to judge whether an automation is worth it
The simplest test is time: hours spent per month multiplied by the cost of those hours. A five-minute task done fifty times a week costs over 200 hours a year. Automation rarely removes 100% of the work, so this calculator lets you set a realistic share.
Look beyond cost too. Automations reply to leads in seconds instead of hours, make fewer copying errors and work at weekends. For sales, speed of response often matters more than the hours saved.
