What tasks take up your day?

Enter the minutes for one run, then how often it happens each day. Decimals work too: 0.5 minutes is 30 seconds.

Estimate uses 5 workdays/week and 50% time saved. Setup: $2,000; running costs: $0/month. Adjust these above.

How is this calculated?

Each task: minutes per run multiplied by runs per day. Add the tasks, multiply by workdays per week and 52/12 weeks per month, then divide by 60 for monthly hours. Apply the expected time-saving percentage. Monthly value is saved hours multiplied by hourly cost, less monthly running costs. Payback is setup cost divided by positive monthly value.

First-year modeled ROI: -13%. This compares twelve months of recovered time value with setup and twelve months of running costs.

Example values are illustrative, not a quote. Decimal minutes and daily averages are supported, including tasks that take less than a minute. Include review and exceptions when estimating time saved. Taxes, financing, ramp-up and revenue gains are excluded.
