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
