What does the handwork cost you?
Copying between systems, chasing statuses, assembling the same report every week. It rarely shows up as a cost anywhere, because it is spread across everyone's day. This free calculator puts a yearly number on it.
Calculated with €32/hour all-in (an administrative employee costs €45,000-55,000 per year) and 46 working weeks. No sign-up, nothing is stored.
What does the handwork cost?
That is roughly 3.2 working days a week back for your team. Calculated at €32 per hour all-in, 46 working weeks and 80% straight-through as a starting point. Your own numbers come out of the free feasibility study.
About the calculation
How is the saving calculated?
Hours of manual work per week × the number of people doing that work gives total hours. We multiply by 46 working weeks and an all-in hourly rate of €32 (an administrative employee costs €45,000-55,000 per year including employer costs). We count 80% of that amount as automatable.
Why 80% and not all of it?
Because the exceptions remain. A well-built process handles the bulk automatically and routes the rest to a review screen, where someone approves it in seconds. That remainder belongs in the sum: fully unattended work is rare, and promising otherwise makes the business case unreliable.
Does the work disappear, or do the people?
The work. In practice the time that frees up goes to the part of the job no computer can reach: judging exceptions, talking to customers, thinking up improvements. The team keeps control over what happens, and sees in the review screen exactly what was handled automatically.
What is the next step if the number comes out high?
A feasibility study on the real process: which part is genuinely automatable, what it costs to build, and what is left at the bottom line. At Stratalytic that study is free and commits you to nothing.
High number? It doesn't have to stay that way.
