How This Calculator Works

Understanding the math behind your ROI estimates

Annual Cost Calculation

We calculate your current annual cost by multiplying: Number of employees × Hours per week × Hourly cost × 52 weeks. This represents the total cost of manual work.

Savings Estimation

Based on real client data, workflow automation typically saves 60-80% of manual work time. We use your selected savings rate to calculate potential annual savings.

ROI Calculation

ROI is calculated as (Annual Savings - Automation Cost) ÷ Automation Cost × 100%. We estimate automation investment at €1,000 per process.

Payback Period

The time needed to recover your automation investment through savings. Calculated as: Automation Cost ÷ Monthly Savings. Most businesses see payback within weeks.
