How the formula works
Monthly ROI
(Hours saved × Hourly rate × Team members) − Monthly cost
ROI %
Monthly ROI ÷ Monthly cost × 100
Annual Savings
Monthly ROI × 12
Payback Period
Monthly cost ÷ (Hours saved × Rate × Team)
This is a simplified model for quick estimates. Real ROI also includes setup time, training, and integration costs — but this gives you a solid first approximation.
