Use an average week; the calculation uses 52 weeks.

Include employment costs relevant to your team.

EDITABLE EXAMPLE / NOT A CUSTOMER RESULT

Time is the starting point.

1,300 hours of work per year Current capacity cost: CHF 110,500 / year

Potential time released650 hper year at 50% reduction
Illustrative capacity valueCHF 55,250per year, before recurring costs
Indicative payback3.2 monthsbased on capacity value, not cash savings

What if the reduction is lower?

First-year capacity ROI: 85.4% to 270.8%. This compares annual capacity value with implementation cost only.

Illustrative estimate only. Actual outcomes depend on process quality, adoption and implementation.

Capacity value is not guaranteed cash savings. This estimate excludes subscriptions, model usage, hosting, support, training, internal delivery time, taxes and ramp-up. It assumes the same weekly volume across 52 weeks; adjust tasks per week for seasonal or part-year work.

METHOD, NOT MAGIC

Every assumption has a place.

How is the estimate calculated?

Annual effort = minutes per task × tasks per week × 52 ÷ 60. Time released = annual effort × reduction. Capacity value = time released × loaded hourly cost. Payback = implementation cost ÷ monthly capacity value. The first-year return compares annual capacity value with implementation cost only.

What does the conservative range mean?

The three scenarios use 50%, 75% and 100% of your chosen reduction. For a 40% reduction assumption, the scenarios model 20%, 30% and 40%. They are sensitivity checks, not probability forecasts or an additional discount applied to costs.

Can I treat capacity value as a budget saving?

Not automatically. Released time may support growth, improve turnaround or reduce overtime without changing salary costs. Validate a real process baseline and identify how the team will use the capacity before building a business case.

What if savings or implementation cost are zero?

When the annual value is zero there is no finite payback. A zero implementation cost with positive value has no upfront cost, but percentage ROI is undefined. The calculator never invents a finite return from division by zero.

THE NEXT USEFUL STEP

Does the workflow have a clear boundary?

A promising estimate is only a start. Check scope, systems and human authority before treating it as an implementation candidate.
