Full Instructions

Time-to-Money ROI Calculator — Quick Start

1. Set your Owner baseline

- Owner admin hours per week: move the slider to estimate how many hours you spend on admin weekly.

- Owner effective hourly value: enter the value of an hour of your time; pick your currency (GBP/EUR/USD, etc.).

2. (Optional) Add your Team

- Click “+ Add team member”, then for each role enter their hourly value and admin hours/week.

- Remove a role any time with Remove. This helps the tool split savings between Owner vs Team.

3. Estimate improvements

- Owner hours saved per week: choose a realistic weekly time-saving after the Sprint.

- Team hours saved per week (total): estimate team savings; the calculator distributes them across roles by cost weighting. You can adjust anytime—results update instantly.

4. Timeframe & investment

- Weeks worked per year: set your working weeks (e.g., 36–48).

- One-time Sprint cost: enter your quoted project price.

Monthly care plan (optional): tick Include and enter the monthly fee if you plan to continue; the tool adds 12 × monthly to Year-1 investment automatically.

5. Read your results
The Your Results panel updates in real time with:

- Annual time saved (hrs) and Annual value (£/€/$)

- Baseline vs After-Sprint annual admin cost (Owner + Team)

- Who gets the time back (Owner vs Team share)

- Total investment (Year 1), Net benefit (Year 1), and ROI %

Tips for accurate, useful outputs

- Be roughly right: if you don’t know exact hours, start with your best guess—you can refine later.

- Include team time: even small weekly savings at lower hourly rates can compound into large annual value.

- Match currencies: calculator supports USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CHF, INR, NZD, JPY; pick the one you operate in.

- Align with working weeks: set realistic weeks (holidays, delivery cycles) so annual projections make sense.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: How does this calculator work?

We analyse three things:

  1. Time you/your team spend on manual tasks

  2. Hourly rates (yours + your team’s)

  3. Tech stack inefficiencies (like paying for tools you don’t use)

Plug in your numbers → We show you exactly how much money leaks out monthly/yearly. Think of it like an X-ray for your business finances.

Question 2: Is this really free?

100% free - no credit card, no upsell. We want you to see the problem first, so you can decide if our paid audit (which fixes it) is right for you.

Question 3: How accurate are the results?

It’s conservative by design - we calculate based on minimum hours and rates.

Most clients say: “The real loss was actually HIGHER.”

Question 4: What currencies do you support?

Pick your poison:

💰 USD ($), GBP (£), EUR (€), AUD (A$), CHF, INR (₹), NZD (NZ$), and JPY (¥).

(We’ll show amounts in your local currency!)

Please ensure you convert the price of our products to your local currency to get the full value from this calculator.

Question 5: What if I don’t know my exact numbers?

Guess! This isn’t a tax return.

If you think you spend 10 hours/week on admin, start there.

Better roughly right than perfectly wrong.

Question 6: Will you spam me after I use this?

Nope. We’ll send:

  1. Your results (once)

  2. A free checklist to fix leaks (if you want it)

  3. Optional invite to chat with our team

Question 7: What’s next if my loss is huge?

Book a free 20-minute Profit Leak Rescue Call. We’ll:

  1. Review your results

  2. Show you the fastest way to recover that money

  3. Zero pressure to buy anything

Question 8: Can I share this with my team?

Please do! Send the link to co-founders, Ops managers, or anyone drowning in spreadsheets. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Question 9: Why focus on manual work?

Because time = money, but most businesses treat it like Monopoly money.

If you’re doing 50/hour work but stuck on 10/hour tasks, that’s a crime.

Question 10: What if my tech stack is a mess?

Perfect. The messier it is, the more money we’ll find hiding in it.

Our audit specialises in untangling tech chaos (we’ve seen it all).
