Cost of manual admin calculator
Repetitive admin is the quiet tax on almost every business. Enter a task your team does over and over and see what it costs a year, and what you could free up by automating it.
The tax nobody adds up
A five minute job done fifty times a week is a whole day gone. Across a team, across a year, it is real money.
Any repetitive task
Data entry, quoting, chasing paperwork, copying between systems. If it repeats, it counts.
Real pounds and hours
See the annual cost in time and money, not a vague sense that admin eats the day.
A layer, not a rebuild
We automate these tasks on top of the systems you already run, so nothing gets ripped out.
Add up one task
Pick one repetitive job and enter its numbers. Try a few tasks to see the total picture.
a year you could free up by automating this task
That is time your team could spend on work only people can do. Most tasks like this are automated with an AI layer on top of the systems you already run.
Indicative estimate based on the figures you enter. Real savings depend on the task and how it is automated.
How the numbers work
The calculator turns the minutes a task takes, how often it is done and how many people do it into hours per year, then applies your hourly cost to get the annual cost of doing it by hand.
It then applies the share you believe could be automated to estimate the saving. Most repetitive, rules based tasks sit high on that scale. The point is not a precise figure, it is the scale of what quietly disappears into admin.
Common questions
Is this task really automatable?
If a task is repetitive and follows rules, it usually is. The best way to know is a short conversation about the specific job. Creative and judgement heavy work stays with your people.
Do you replace our systems to do this?
No. We add an AI layer on top of the tools you already run, so the admin gets automated without a costly rip and replace.
How quickly does it pay back?
Because you are removing hours every single week, automations like these often pay back in months, not years.
What if only part of the task can be automated?
That is normal, and the slider lets you model it. Even automating half of a frequent task adds up fast.
Where should we start?
Start with the task that is most repetitive and most frequent. That is usually the quickest win, and a good first project.
