About this calculator

The return on investment for automation is typically judged by its payback period: how many months it takes for the recurring savings generated by automating a manual task to cover the upfront cost of the tool, software, or setup. It is calculated by dividing the upfront automation cost by the monthly savings it produces (usually from reduced labor hours or error correction).

Businesses use this simple payback math to prioritize which manual processes are worth automating first — a task that pays for its automation in two months is a far easier decision than one that takes three years. This calculator takes the upfront cost and the monthly savings from automating a task and returns the payback period along with the ongoing monthly savings after that point.
