Hours, not guesswork
The calculator only uses the hours, headcount and cost you enter. Nothing behind the scenes.

This is your own estimate, built from the numbers on the left — not a quote. Real savings depend on how the process actually works, which is what a discovery call is for.
How it works
What this calculator does and does not claim.
You set the reduction
The "realistic reduction" slider is yours to adjust — it depends entirely on how repeatable your process is.
An estimate, not a quote
The real number depends on your process. A discovery call is where that gets checked properly.

Questions
Common questions about this calculator.
How accurate is this estimate?
It is only as accurate as the numbers you put in, and the reduction percentage is a placeholder you should adjust. It is designed to give you a realistic order of magnitude, not a number to budget against.
What if I don't know our exact hourly cost?
A rough figure is fine — wage plus a reasonable allowance for overhead. The point is to see the shape of the saving, not to produce an exact figure before we have looked at the process together.
Does this work for any type of process?
It works best for repeatable, rule-based work — the kind described across What we automate. Highly judgement-based work will have a lower realistic reduction, which is exactly what the slider is for.
What happens after I see my estimate?
Nothing, unless you want it to. If the number looks worth investigating, a free discovery call is where we check it against your actual process and tell you honestly whether it holds up.
Curious if this applies to your process?
Bring the real thing to a free discovery call and we will tell you honestly whether automating it is worth it.
