Assumptions & detailsSee key assumptions, formulas and how results are calculated.

ROI is calculated as (annual benefit − annual cost) ÷ annual cost. Benefit includes time-savings (hours × loaded cost) plus non-time efficiency gains. Costs include subscription, fees, implementation and switching, amortised over year 1.

Conservative scenario assumes 70% of benefits land in year 1; aggressive assumes 100%; balanced assumes 85%. Switch with the dropdown above the results panel.
