What does one step cost you?
Pick a step like yours or type your own numbers. See the hours, then the dollars at your rate.
10 h a week × 52 × A$55/h (Coastline’s rate)
≈ 520 hours a year · ≈ 1.3 working days a week (h ÷ 7.6)
a year
Demo defaults: Coastline Trading Co. (fictional company). Type yours. Nothing leaves your browser unless you email it.
If the quickest fix frees the same share as at Coastline Trading Co. (fictional company; 6 of its 10 hours a week): ≈ a year · hours freed, not cash
At that share, the fix frees about 6 h a week. Team, paid yearly, pays for itself at about 3 hours a week freed (at A$55 an hour, Coastline’s rate). In hours freed (not cash), that fix is worth more than Team costs a year (A$7,990).
The sum, in plain words.
How often the step happens in a week × the minutes each one takes ÷ 60 gives the hours a week. × 52 weeks × the hourly rate gives a year, in your currency. Use the full cost of an hour: pay plus super, payroll tax and leave. The fix line takes the same share the quickest fix freed at the demo company, 6 of its 10 hours a week, and is never more than the step costs. Hours freed, not cash.
The payback line uses the yearly price shown on the pricing page: the hours a week a plan needs freed, at your rate, to pay for itself.
