Time saved only counts if it’s redeployed. Hours saved are a financial return only if they go into other valuable work or avoid a real cost (overtime, a hire, a contractor). Small savings scattered across many people often vanish, so set the “redeployed” percentage honestly.

How it’s calculated

Monthly hours = hours per person per week × people × 52 ÷ 12.
Value = monthly hours × hourly cost × redeployed %.
Monthly cost = tool cost + review hours × hourly cost.
Payback (months) = set-up hours × hourly cost ÷ net monthly saving.
