Estimate limitations
Disclaimer
A useful estimate is a starting point, not proof that an automation will pay for itself.
Time value is not cash profit
Freeing up time may create capacity without reducing a bill. Do not interpret the calculator's time-value output as realized revenue, cash savings or business profit.
Inputs are assumptions
Expected extra revenue may not occur. Its contribution margin is also an assumption. Setup work, maintenance, taxes, errors and demand changes can materially change an outcome.
Illustrative examples
The worked example and calculator example use fictional inputs to explain the method. They are not testimonials, customer results or evidence of typical outcomes.
Independent decisions
