How much is manual work costing your business?
A repetitive task may only take a few minutes. Multiply it across people, weeks and months — and the cost can become surprisingly large.
Enter a few numbers below to estimate how much time and labor cost your team currently spends on one repetitive process.
No estimates from us. The calculation is based entirely on your own numbers.

Optional. It only makes the result easier to read.
Estimate the average time one employee spends on this process.
For a more realistic estimate, use the fully loaded hourly cost — salary plus employer costs, benefits and overhead where relevant.
This is your estimate, not a Norsta prediction. Consider how much of the process is repetitive and rule-based versus requiring human judgment. 50% is simply an editable starting position — not an industry benchmark.

What does this mean?
Your team currently spends approximately 0 hours per year on this repetitive process. Based on the automatable share you selected, approximately 0 hours of those may involve work that could potentially be handled by automation.
The next question isn't “Can we automate everything?” It's “Which parts should humans stop doing?”
That's equivalent to approximately 0.0 full working weeks per year (40 hours = one working week).
This calculator provides an indicative estimate based solely on the information you enter. It does not represent guaranteed savings or a forecast of project ROI. Actual automation potential depends on the process, systems involved, implementation approach and required human oversight.
