How this works

Methodology and Assumptions

These projections are grounded in the inputs you provide. Understanding the model helps you stress-test the numbers.

Time savings

  • 20 hrs/week × 52 weeks = 1,040 hours per year
  • Annual savings = hours saved × your combined hourly rate
  • Daily/weekly/monthly figures are linear divisions

ROI projections

  • Net savings = annual savings − (investment × maintenance %)
  • 1/3/5-year ROI = ((net savings × years − investment) / investment) × 100
  • Break-even = investment / weekly net savings

Equivalents

  • FTE equivalent = hours per year / 2,080 (standard working year)
  • Vacation days = hours per year / 8 hours per workday
  • Currency conversion uses live approximate rates
