Manual Work Cost Calculator
Estimate what repetitive manual work may be costing your business. Start with the time your team spends on one recurring process, then explore how much capacity could be recovered if part of that work were simplified or automated.
Step 1: What is this manual process costing you today?
Enter the details for one recurring process. All calculations use 50 working weeks per year.
Stays in your browser only. Not stored or transmitted.
Use wages plus employer costs such as benefits and payroll related expenses when available.
Step 2: What could improvement look like?
Estimate how much of this work could realistically be reduced through process improvement, automation, or AI.
Default is 0%. Choose a value that reflects a realistic reduction, not a benchmark.
Complete Step 1 and select an improvement percentage above 0% to see a scenario.
What should you look at next?
A strong automation candidate usually combines high frequency, meaningful time or cost, repeated frustration, and manageable implementation risk. Before automating, first determine whether unnecessary steps can be removed or simplified.
Eliminate before you automate. Automate before you delegate. Delegate before you hire. Measure before you scale.
Want to validate the numbers against your actual workflow?
The AI and Technology Assessment can help identify what should be automated, where AI may add value, what should remain under human control, and where the strongest business case exists.
