Process Cost Baseline Calculator
Find out what a manual process really costs you today — the number every AI ROI claim has to beat.
Get started-
Turns "we think this costs too much" into a defensible number — the same one the ROI Simulator uses as its denominator.
-
Captures the hidden costs a stopwatch misses: rework, escalations, and errors that reach the customer.
-
Computed entirely in your browser — your numbers are never sent to a server unless you choose to save them.
Frequently asked questions
Fully-loaded (or "loaded") cost is salary plus employer taxes, benefits, and overhead — typically 1.25 to 1.4 times the base salary. It is the real cost of an hour of someone's time, not just their pay rate.
No. The calculator is free and unlimited with no account and no signup. An account is only needed if you want to save a baseline to your library so you can reuse it later or compare versions over time.
No — every number you enter and every calculation is done entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly click "Save to library" while signed in.
These "hidden costs" are usually the largest opportunity for improvement, but they rarely show up when someone estimates a process cost from memory. Making them explicit is what makes the resulting number defensible.
