Does automation really pay off? A simple calculation tells you. Here is how to work out the payback time.
Automation costs money, but it also delivers. A simple calculation quickly shows whether it is worth it.
The calculation
- How many hours per week does a task cost now?
- What does that hour cost (wage)?
- Multiply: hours × cost × 52 weeks = annual cost.
- Compare that with the one-off investment.
An example
A task costs 5 hours a week at €40? That is over €10,000 a year. A solution that removes it often pays for itself within a year.
Do not forget the “hidden” gains: fewer errors and happier staff. Read what custom software costs.
