Work Audit & Custom Development ROI Calculator
Define the cost of manual workflows to compare against an audit, integration, or custom development project.
Estimate the cost of a manual workflow and the value of an improvement
Use this to quantify repeated workarounds, rework (includes error corrections or further edits needed after the initial work), and the potential value of a better-connected workflow.
Estimated annual workflow opportunity
These results are directional estimates for planning conversations, not guarantees. Real outcomes depend on data availability, guest behavior, offer structure, and implementation details.

How This Tool Works
Help a team quantify the time, rework, and opportunity cost of a workflow that feels harder than it should.
Inputs You Can Adjust
- Workflow name
- Number of staff involved
- Times the workflow happens per week
- Average minutes per occurrence
- Average hourly rate
- Estimated error or rework rate
- Optional monthly revenue affected
- Estimated solution cost
Goals & Outputs
- Monthly manual-work cost
- Annual manual-work cost
- Estimated monthly opportunity
- Estimated annual opportunity
- Estimated payback period
Important Context
- First, think about the workflow you want to evaluate. This could be a manual report, a reconciled spreadsheet, a repeated export, or a workaround that takes more time than it should.
- Next, estimate the number of staff involved, how often it happens, and how long it takes. Include any rework or errors that happen because of the workflow.
- Finally, consider whether the workflow is affecting revenue or guest experience. If so, include an estimate of the monthly impact.
- Repeat this process for any other workflows you want to evaluate.
- Use this calculator to start a scoping conversation for custom development projects.
