Automation Savings Calculator
See how much recurring work a workflow consumes, and estimate payback on a one-off automation project.
Your result
Use the example or enter your figures, then calculate.
Savings are estimates. Include maintenance and review time when assessing a real automation project.
How it works
Annual hours saved = minutes saved per run × runs per week × working weeks ÷ 60. Annual value = hours saved × loaded hourly cost. Payback = build cost ÷ monthly value.
Common questions
Does this assume every minute becomes productive time?
Yes. Real savings can be lower if time cannot be reassigned effectively.
What about maintenance?
Add expected ongoing maintenance to your decision outside this simple calculation.
