Automation ROI Calculator
Estimate the financial effect of reducing time spent on a repeatable process.
Use figures from your own operation. The result is an indicative planning model, not a quotation or guarantee.
Your result
How this works
Monthly process cost = people × weekly hours × hourly cost × 52 ÷ 12. Savings apply the stated time-saving percentage, then subtract recurring cost. Payback divides implementation cost by net monthly saving.
Hypothetical worked example
Twelve people spending four hours weekly at NGN 3,500 cost about NGN 728,000 monthly before automation. A 50% time saving is not the same as removing six jobs; it represents capacity that must be redeployed to create value.
How to interpret the result
Use the output to compare scenarios and expose the assumptions that have the greatest effect. Validate the figures with process owners, finance and technical teams before making a purchasing decision.
Assumptions and limitations
- Inputs are supplied by you and are not verified by REVTEK.
- Taxes, financing, supplier terms and operational variation may be excluded.
- An estimate should be tested with measured data and sensitivity scenarios.
Common mistakes
- Using best-case assumptions only
- Ignoring support, adoption and exception handling
- Treating a calculated result as a supplier commitment
Practical next steps
- Confirm input figures with accountable owners.
- Run conservative, expected and optimistic scenarios.
- Document exclusions and review the estimate after implementation.
