How We Calculate
Typical Task Times
Automation rates and hourly values are estimates from typical task times for small businesses, not measured client results.
Conservative Estimates
We use task-specific automation rates (80-92%) rather than assuming 100% automation.
Total Value Recovery
Dollar savings reflect the hourly value of the work being automated: what that time is worth to your business, not just the labor cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It's an estimate from typical task times, not a measured client result. Automation rates and hourly values reflect typical small-business tasks. Actual results vary based on your specific workflows, tools, and implementation.
What does automation typically cost?
A fixed build fee, quoted on a call, and the number moves with complexity. It starts with a paid diagnostic, credited in full to the build.
How quickly will I see ROI?
I don't promise an ROI number or a payback date. After the build, the care-plan report shows how long the job takes now against the timing from the diagnostic, so you can see the difference in your own numbers.
Which tasks have the highest automation ROI?
Data entry and document processing typically offer the highest ROI due to high hours consumed and 90%+ automation rates. Reporting and analytics also score high due to the senior-level hourly value recovered. Email management offers the broadest impact across most businesses.
