Context

Why this number is bigger than it looks

The calculator shows direct wage cost. The real cost compounds in ways that don't show up on any single line.

It compounds every year

3 years of unchecked manual work doesn't just triple the cost — teams grow, tasks multiply, and the buried hours grow with them.

Opportunity cost isn't included

Every hour spent on copy-paste is an hour not spent on sales, strategy, or delivery. The calculator only shows the wage side.

Human error has its own cost

Manual processes break. A missed follow-up, a misrouted lead, a wrong data entry — each one carries a downstream cost this calculator doesn't capture.

Automation ROI is immediate

A well-built Make.com or n8n workflow runs 24/7, handles every repetition without error, and typically pays for itself within the first quarter.
