How to Calculate ROI on Business Automation
Learn the formula we use to guarantee 30-day ROI for our clients.
## The ROI Formula for Automation
**Annual Savings = (Hours Saved × Hourly Value × 52) - Implementation Cost**
**ROI % = (Annual Savings / Implementation Cost) × 100**
## Example: Quote Automation
### Before
- Time per quote: 45 minutes
- Quotes per week: 20
- Annual cost: **$39,000**
### After Automation
- Time per quote: 2 minutes
- Annual cost: **$1,733**
### ROI Calculation
- Annual savings: **$37,267**
- Implementation cost: $2,500
- ROI: **1,391%**
- Payback period: **25 days**
