Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate automation ROI?
Hours saved per month × fully-loaded hourly rate = labor value. Subtract the tool’s monthly cost to get net savings, then divide net by cost for ROI %.
What hourly rate should I use?
Use a fully-loaded rate (salary + taxes + benefits + overhead), not just base pay. It’s typically 1.3–1.5× the base hourly wage and reflects true cost.
What counts as time saved?
Repetitive manual work the tool removes or speeds up — data entry, reporting, follow-ups, handoffs. Be conservative; count only hours genuinely freed.
Does automation ROI include revenue gains?
This calculator focuses on labor savings. If automation also drives revenue (faster response, fewer errors), add that separately for a fuller picture.
How fast does automation usually pay back?
When it removes several hours per person per week, most automation tools pay for themselves within the first month or two — the ROI compounds after that.
