Methodology: Calculation uses a standard 48-week working year. The automation percentage reflects the estimated proportion of manual task time that can be eliminated through automation — not all manual work can be fully automated. Actual results depend on workflow complexity, integration requirements, and implementation approach.

How it works

Calculation Methodology

This calculator estimates the potential cost savings from automating repetitive manual tasks in your business. It uses four inputs: the number of employees performing manual work, the hours they spend each week on automatable tasks, their fully loaded hourly cost (salary + benefits + overhead), and the percentage of that work that automation can realistically replace.

The formula is straightforward: total annual manual hours = employees × hours per week × 48 weeks. Automatable hours = total hours × automation percentage. Cost savings = automatable hours × hourly rate.

The 70% default for automation potential is a conservative estimate based on aibizmod's experience implementing business process automation for UK-based service businesses. Your actual results will vary depending on the complexity of your workflows, the quality of your existing data, and whether your tools have accessible APIs.
