Estimate what a business saves by automating a repetitive task. Agencies use this to show SMB clients the value of an automation in hours and dollars, before they buy.
The client's numbers
How the ROI is calculated
The calculator multiplies the time spent on a task by how much that time costs, then applies how much of the work an agent handles. It subtracts the monthly cost of the automation to show net gain and payback.
- Hours saved = weekly hours x people x coverage, across a month.
- Money saved = hours saved x hourly cost.
- Net gain = money saved minus the monthly automation cost.
How agencies use it
Bring it into a sales conversation. Enter the client's real numbers live, and the savings make the case for you. Then deliver the automation as an always-on agent so the value continues after setup.
