Automation ROI Calculator
Enter how often a task happens, how long it takes and what an hour costs, and see the hours and money it accounts for each month and year — along with an estimate of what automating part of it could save, and how long an implementation cost would take to pay back. Every figure is arithmetic on what you entered, and the assumptions are published beside the results.

The task today
How many times the task is done in a normal week.
How long one of them takes, start to finish.
What an hour of the person doing it costs the business.
The currency only changes how figures are shown. Nothing is converted.
Your own estimate. Most processes keep a manual step or two.
A one-off build cost, if you have a figure for it.

How these figures are worked out
A year is 52 weeks, so hours a year = tasks per week × minutes per task ÷ 60 × 52.
Monthly figures are the annual total ÷ 12, not four weeks — that keeps the month and the year consistent.
Cost = hours × the hourly cost you entered. No overheads, tooling or licence fees are added.
Saving = the current figure × the share you set as automatable. Nothing is assumed about how well the automation runs.
Payback = implementation cost ÷ the estimated monthly saving. It is only shown when both are greater than zero.
Working days are 8 hours, used only to make large hour totals easier to picture.
These figures are estimates based only on the values you entered. Actual savings depend on the process, the implementation and operating conditions. This is not a quote, a guarantee or a financial forecast.
