About

What is this Calculator?

The RPA ROI Calculator is a free tool that helps operations, finance, and IT leaders estimate the financial impact of automating a repetitive business process. Enter your team size, wage, weekly hours spent on the task, expected automation coverage, and rough bot costs — the calculator instantly shows your projected annual savings, ROI percentage, and payback period, so you can build a data-backed business case before ever talking to a vendor.

How It Works

Get Your ROI in 4 Steps

No spreadsheets, no finance team needed. Fill, calculate, decide.

01

Describe the Process

Tell us how many employees perform the task, their average hourly wage, and how many hours per week they spend on it.

02

Set Automation Coverage

Choose how much of the process realistically gets automated — partial (60%), high (80%), or near-full (95%) — based on how rules-based the task is.

03

Add Bot Costs

Enter your expected one-time implementation cost and ongoing monthly license or maintenance fee, so the numbers reflect real spend, not just savings.

04

Calculate & Review

Click Calculate to instantly see your annual savings, ROI percentage, and how many months until the bot pays for itself.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the RPA ROI Calculator.

How accurate is this ROI estimate?
+
This calculator gives a directional estimate based on the numbers you enter and a chosen automation coverage rate. Real-world results depend on process complexity, bot maintenance needs, and how well the process was designed before automation.
What automation coverage percentage should I pick?
+
Pick 60% for processes with a lot of exceptions or judgment calls, 80% for standard rules-based work like invoice matching, and 95% only for extremely repetitive, single-format tasks.
Does this include ongoing maintenance costs?
+
Yes. The monthly license/maintenance field is multiplied across the year and subtracted from your labor savings, so the ROI reflects net savings, not just gross labor cost avoided.
Can I use this for more than one process?
+
Yes, run the calculator separately for each process you're considering automating, since wage, hours, and coverage rate typically differ between processes.
Is my data saved anywhere?
+
No. All calculations run locally in your browser. Nothing you type here is stored, logged, or sent anywhere.

⚠️

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates only, based on the figures you enter and general automation assumptions. It is not financial advice. Actual savings depend on process complexity, vendor pricing, implementation quality, and ongoing maintenance. Always validate estimates with an RPA vendor or your finance team before making budget decisions.
