Automation Time-Savings Calculator
Estimate recovered hours and capacity value while including human review and maintenance.
Automation time-savings calculator
Include review in the new handling time and count ongoing maintenance.
How to use this tool
Enter monthly completed tasks, current handling time, and new handling time including review. Subtract monthly maintenance hours. The calculator values remaining capacity at your chosen hourly rate and subtracts the tool fee. It does not predict a payroll reduction or extra revenue.
Understand the result
For the default fictional example, 100 tasks × (8 − 3) minutes ÷ 60 − 2 maintenance hours = 6.33 recovered hours. At $25 per hour, capacity value is $158.33; subtracting $30 gives $128.33. A longer new process can produce extra work instead of savings.
Check your assumptions
Use a small pilot and compare the result with the actual process. Include review, errors, and ongoing effort. A planning result should inform a decision, not turn an uncertain input into a confident promise.
