Manual Task Cost Calculator
See how much repetitive admin is costing your business in staff time, working days and money — before you decide whether it is worth automating.
Enter one repetitive task
Use a single recurring task such as copying enquiries into a spreadsheet, preparing weekly reports or sending routine follow-ups.
Good examples to test
- Copying website enquiries into a CRM or spreadsheet.
- Sending the same follow-up emails repeatedly.
- Preparing recurring reports from several systems.
- Creating documents from form submissions.
- Moving information between two or more apps.
- Chasing routine approvals, payments or appointments.
Cost does not automatically mean “automate it”
A process may be expensive because it genuinely requires human judgement. The useful question is how much of the repetitive part could be removed without making the customer experience or quality worse.
Start with stable, repeatable processes that follow clear rules and happen often enough for the saving to matter.
