    How this is calculated

    leak = hours/week × people × 52 × $25 × automatable%

    The automatable percentage is shown on every task and is deliberately conservative — it is the share of the work automation removes outright, not the share it touches. Nothing here assumes you fire anyone; the figure is the cost of hours currently spent on work software can do.

    About this calculator

    How does the automation ROI calculator work?

    For each manual task you select, the calculator multiplies the hours spent per week by the number of people doing it, by 52 weeks, by your fully loaded hourly staff cost. It then counts only the automatable share of that cost — the percentage shown on each task — as the money you are leaking. Every assumption is visible and editable.

    What counts as an automatable percentage?

    It is the share of a task that automation removes outright, not the share it touches. Repetitive work such as CRM data entry and copy-pasting between tools is 90 percent automatable. Judgement-heavy work such as approvals and onboarding handoffs is 65 percent. The figures are deliberately conservative so the result holds up under scrutiny.

    Is the automation ROI calculator free?

    Yes. It is completely free, needs no signup, and the full result including the per-task breakdown is shown on the page. Booking a call with Oltaflock AI afterwards is optional.
