The cost of manual tasks stays invisible until you put a number on it. Enter two numbers: the calculator shows you your true hourly rate, then what your manual work really costs you. No signup.
The real problem
You keep the business running. Follow-ups, quotes, invoicing, data entry, coordination. Dozens of small manual tasks, every week. Taken one by one, they look free. Added up, they cost you a fortune in time you never bill. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, up to 30% of hours worked could be automated by 2030.
An hour spent retyping data is an hour paid at full price, at your true hourly rate.
The assessment
Two numbers, thirty seconds. We calculate what your hour is really worth, then what your manual work costs you every month.

The true hourly rate is annual revenue divided by the hours actually worked in the year (time off deducted). It's what one hour of an owner's time is really worth. Example: $250,000 in revenue and 2,400 hours worked comes out to about $104 per hour.
It depends on the real hourly rate and the time spent. For an owner at $100 per hour who loses 30 hours a month to manual tasks, the cost lands around $3,000 per month, roughly $36,000 per year. The calculator gives you the exact number in two minutes.
