Automation Savings Estimator
Estimate how many staff hours automating a repetitive task could reclaim each month, what that time is worth at your loaded labor cost, and how long a one-time setup would take to pay back.
Free and calculated entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or saved. The result is capacity value, not a promise of payroll or cash savings, and every formula is shown below.
Your task and costs
The starting values are illustrative examples, not InfoSpectrum prices. Replace them with your own figures in USD, then select Calculate.
Assumptions and limits
Capacity value is reclaimed time priced at your loaded hourly cost. It is not a guaranteed payroll or cash saving: it becomes money only if the time is redirected to valuable work or avoids paying for more hours.
- This is an illustrative estimate. The starting numbers are illustrative examples, not InfoSpectrum prices, quotes or typical client results — replace them with your own.
- Capacity value is reclaimed staff time multiplied by the loaded hourly labor cost you enter. It is not payroll reduction or cash savings, and it is not a guarantee or promise of any financial outcome.
- Reclaimed time becomes real value only if your team redirects it to useful work, or if the workload would otherwise need more paid hours.
- Excludes adoption and training time, change management, exceptions and rework, downtime, tax effects, financing costs and any other cost you have not entered.
- Assumes task volume, minutes per task and costs stay the same every month for the whole first year, with no ramp-up period.
- Simple payback = one-time setup investment ÷ net monthly capacity value. It is shown only when the monthly net is positive and ignores timing and the time value of money.
- All amounts are in USD and kept at full precision until display; money is rounded to two decimals and payback to one decimal month.
- Calculated entirely in your browser. Your numbers are not uploaded, stored, or added to any link or enquiry.
