Methodology
How We Calculate Your ROI
Our model is based on 50+ automation projects. We calculate conservative estimates — real-world results typically land 20–40% higher than projected.
ROI = ((Annual Savings − Impl. Cost) ÷ Impl. Cost) × 100
Hours Saved × Hourly Rate × 4.33 weeks
= Monthly time value
Monthly Time Value × 12 months
= Annual gross savings
Annual Savings − (Tool Costs × 12)
= Net annual savings
Implementation Cost ÷ Monthly Savings
= Payback period in months
