What is manual work actually costing you?
Free tool · No signup
Most owners never put a number on the hours their team loses to repetitive admin. Move the inputs, switch the sensitivity assumption, and inspect how the arithmetic changes. If the range is material, the free assessment tests whether any workflow actually clears the gate.
Coordinators, admins, operations, or front-desk staff doing repeat work.
Count repeatable data entry, document handling, email, and status chasing—not judgment or creative work.
Wage plus benefits and overhead. The $35 default is editable.

Where discovery might start
Based only on the tasks selected: workflow automation (data sync), document intake and extraction. The assessment verifies whether any of these clears the gate.
Illustrative estimate only. Coverage is a selected sensitivity assumption; 48 working weeks and your inputs drive the arithmetic. No scenario is a quote, measured outcome, or guarantee.
The number is a starting point, not a promise.
How to read this
The planning view applies a 60% coverage assumption to the repetitive time you enter across 48 working weeks. The 40% and 80% options are sensitivity boundaries, not predicted outcomes. They exist to expose which assumption drives the number, not to quote a project.
To scope a project, we validate the workflow, volumes, and costs with your team. Soxoa does not publish prices for its own work: scope and price are agreed before work begins. The optional free assessment offers an initial brief from public information and makes its assumptions explicit.
About this calculator
Common questions
How does this ROI calculator work?
You enter how many people do repetitive admin, how many hours a week each of them spends on it, and their loaded hourly cost. The published planning view applies a 60% coverage assumption across 48 working weeks; 40% and 80% sensitivity views let you inspect the boundary. None is a forecast.
Is the number a quote?
No. It is an illustrative estimate built entirely from the figures you typed in, not from any measurement of your operation. It exists to make the cost of manual work visible. A project estimate needs your actual workflow volumes, labor costs, and system requirements. The optional free assessment provides an initial brief based on public information, with assumptions to validate together.
What does it cost to automate one of these workflows?
Soxoa does not publish prices for its own work. Scope, price, timing, success criteria, and the human review path are agreed in writing before work begins. The free assessment is an optional starting point.
