How We Calculate
Time Savings
We assume automation can handle 80% of repetitive tasks. The remaining 20% still requires human judgment or exception handling.
Error Reduction
Automation typically reduces manual errors by 70%. Some edge cases still require human review.
Project Cost
We use $10,000 as a typical project baseline. Simple automations start at $5,000; complex systems can exceed $25,000.
Hidden Benefits
This calculator doesn't capture speed improvements, employee satisfaction, or scalability—all real benefits of automation.
