Your planning estimate
Estimate only — not a quotation
How the estimate is calculated
Monthly manual cost = employees × hourly cost × hours per week × frequency factor (daily 21.67, weekly 4.345, monthly 1). Error cost is added the same way. Recovered value is reduced by expected automation and adoption percentages, then monthly maintenance is subtracted. Payback and 1-year / 3-year ROI use the implementation cost you enter.
Assumptions
Hourly cost should include employment cost, not only take-home pay. Adoption is rarely 100% in the first months. Implementation cost is a planning figure, not a Brayne quotation.
Limitations
The calculator does not model change-management delay, exception handling, or processes that are already partly automated.
