Formula used

Annual time savings = employees × admin hours saved per employee per month × hourly cost × 12.

Error reduction = errors avoided per month × cost per error × 12.

Turnover reduction = employees × turnover reduction (percentage points) × cost per turnover.

Total annual benefits = time savings + error reduction + turnover reduction + compliance + recruiting + attendance.

Year 1 total cost = subscription monthly × 12 + one time implementation.

ROI (Year 1) = (total annual benefits − Year 1 total cost) ÷ Year 1 total cost.

Monthly net benefit = total annual benefits ÷ 12 − subscription monthly.

Payback period (months) = one time implementation ÷ monthly net benefit. If monthly net benefit ≤ 0, payback is not reached.

Projection multiplies benefits and costs by their respective annual growth rates. Implementation is counted in Year 1 only.

FAQs
Include setup migration configuration training and any temporary extra effort from internal staff or consultants. Enter the full amount as a one time value.
Sum small improvements like faster leave approvals automated onboarding simplified payroll and self service updates. Use conservative figures to keep the model credible.
Yes but consider entering them in the additional annual fields and documenting your assumptions. Keep a separate note for qualitative benefits like morale or brand perception.
If monthly net benefit is negative or zero the one time implementation cannot be recovered. Increase benefits or reduce cost until monthly net is positive.
It is a decision support tool. Replace defaults with your own data and conduct sensitivity checks using the growth rates to understand upside and downside cases.
