Automation ROI Calculator
Before building an automation pipeline or deploying an AI workflow, it pays to check the math. Enter how many hours your team currently spends on a repetitive process, the fully loaded hourly cost, and the expected build and maintenance budget to see your annual savings, payback period in months, and three-year cumulative cost comparison.
Manual Workflow & Investment
Estimate the current time spent and the cost to automate.
Time spent on the manual task each week.
Staff members performing this task.
Include salary, benefits, and overhead (for example, $1,920/month at 160 hrs is $12/hr).
Most practical automations remove 60% to 85% of manual effort while keeping human review for edge cases.
Initial engineering and rollout budget.
Yearly API, cloud, or support cost.
Return on Investment
Based on 52 operating weeks per year.
Reclaims 1,560 hrs/yr of team capacity from a manual baseline of $24,960 / yr.
Cumulative Cost Over 3 Years
