What is manual work costing you?
Repetitive work — chasing leads, answering the same tickets, copying data between tools, reconciling invoices — quietly costs real money every week. Enter a few numbers to see what it adds up to a year, and how much you’d get back by automating it.
This is an estimate from the numbers you entered — nothing is stored. Your free 30-minute audit turns it into a real plan.

The math is deliberately simple, so you can trust it: every figure comes straight from what you enter.
What it costs today
People on the work × hours a week × 52 weeks × their hourly cost. That's the annual price of doing it by hand.
What you'd get back
You set the share you think could be automated. We apply it to your cost and hours — a conservative estimate, in your control.
What to do with it
Take the number to a free 30-minute audit, where it becomes a real plan: which workflows to automate first, and what it takes.
The wage bill is just the visible part
The calculator above counts the hours. But repetitive manual work costs more than the salary behind it — these are the parts that rarely make it onto a spreadsheet.
Mistakes and rework
Manual steps fail quietly — a mistyped number, a missed row, a stale copy. The cost isn't just the error; it's the hours spent finding and fixing it later.
Slower turnaround
Work that waits for a person sits in a queue. Tickets, approvals, and reports that take days instead of minutes quietly cost you customers and momentum.
Capped growth
When output is tied to headcount, more volume means more hiring. Repetitive work that scales with the business becomes the ceiling on what your team can take on.
Burnout and turnover
The dullest work wears people down first. The hidden line item is the focus, morale, and good people you lose to it.
