These calculators use transparent planning formulas. They are designed to make assumptions visible so you can replace defaults with observed values from your own operation.
Manual labor value estimates the annual economic value of time spent on a recurring process.
Recovered capacity applies the estimated automatable share. Realized cash savings may be lower than capacity value because time saved does not automatically reduce payroll or create revenue.
Payback period compares one-time implementation cost with recurring net monthly benefit. If recurring benefit is zero or negative, payback is not reached.
Contribution profit before ads starts with order revenue and subtracts variable costs tied to the order.
Contribution margin expresses that contribution as a percentage of order value.
Break-even ROAS is the ratio of order revenue to the maximum ad spend the order can support before contribution falls to zero.
Maximum CPA is the acquisition cost that consumes the available contribution at break-even. A target profit margin reduces the allowable CPA.
Discount impact compares contribution per order before and after a price reduction, then estimates the additional order volume required to recover the same total contribution.
These models do not automatically capture every real-world factor. Depending on your business, you may need to account for fixed overhead, taxes, returns, refunds, failed payments, attribution error, repeat purchase behavior, financing cost, implementation risk, change management, downtime, or the difference between capacity value and actual cash savings.
Use the calculators as decision aids and scenario models, then compare projections with real operating data.
