ROI CALCULATOR / SHOW YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
Put a number on the repetitive work.
Estimate annual effort, potential capacity released and indicative payback. Change every assumption. See the full estimate and a more conservative scenario before deciding what to investigate.
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
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.
