Show the maths
- 3 people × 30 hrs × 12 months = 1,080 hrs
- 1,080 hrs × £35 = £37,800
- + software £0 = £37,800
- 1,080 hrs × 60% = 648 hrs back
- 648 hrs ÷ 7.5 = 86 working days

How does the calculator work?
The annual cost of manual admin is the number of people doing it, multiplied by their monthly hours, by 12 and by their loaded hourly cost, plus any software that only partly does the job. The potential saving applies the share of that work that could be automated. For example, 3 people spending 30 hours a month at £35 an hour costs £37,800 a year; automating 60% gives back 648 hours.
