Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate SaaS ROI?

(Total value − total cost) ÷ total cost, expressed as a percentage. Total cost includes setup plus recurring subscription over your chosen time horizon.

What counts as "value" from software?

Both new revenue the tool helps generate and costs it removes — saved hours, replaced tools, fewer errors, reduced churn. Quantify each in dollars per month.

What is a good ROI for a SaaS tool?

Any positive ROI within your evaluation window is a green light, but strong tools often return 200–400%+ over 12 months once value compounds.

How long should my time horizon be?

12 months is a common default for annual budgeting. For tools with high setup cost, also check whether break-even lands inside your contract term.

Why include setup cost separately?

Setup (implementation, migration, training) is a one-time hit that delays break-even. Separating it shows the true ramp before the tool pays for itself.
