Most small businesses don't know what their manual work actually costs. In 30 seconds, this calculator estimates how much you'd save each month and year by automating the repetitive tasks eating your team's hours.
Data entry, lead follow-up, scheduling, reporting, manual emails. Well-scoped automation routinely hits 70–90% on repetitive workflows. Monthly Savings $0 Annual Savings $0 Hours Freed Per Month 0 Breakeven on a $2,500 Audit — Weeks to pay back the initial automation assessment. Estimates only. Real results depend on your workflows and the scope of automation — a proper assessment nails down the exact numbers. Hours wasted × your fully-loaded hourly rate = what those hours cost every month. That's the starting figure — before you automate anything. Not every task can (or should) be automated. The percentage slider only counts the workflows a good automation scope can realistically take off your team's plate. Monthly savings → annual savings → hours freed. Compare those to the cost of an assessment, and you get a breakeven in weeks — usually fast.
The formula: Savings/mo = (hours × rate × automation%) × 4.33 weeks.
Annual = monthly × 12. Hours freed = hours × automation%. Breakeven = $2,500 ÷ monthly savings, in weeks.
