Model automation economics without hiding the assumptions.
The calculator uses your weekly hours, loaded labor cost, realistic automation rate, implementation cost, and annual software cost. It makes no guaranteed savings claim.
Transparent estimate
Enter your own assumptions and calculate. Values are not BlackLabel performance claims; the model only applies the displayed inputs.
Formula
Every result can be checked by hand.
Annual manual-cost exposure = weekly hours × 52 × loaded hourly cost
Capacity returned = annual manual-cost exposure × automation rate
First-year net = capacity returned − implementation − annual software/support
Simple payback = implementation ÷ monthly net capacity value
