My estimate, to check together on the call: a system could give back of those each month, worth a month and a year.
From your answers and my assumptions, which are in the four steps below. The cost of the project and the tools isn’t subtracted.
Based on your answers, the hours you’d get back in a year probably wouldn’t justify a project. You may already be well organized, or the volume may be low. I’d tell you the same on the call.
It starts at $47: in June 2026, an hour worked cost US private employers $46.89 on average, wages and benefits included, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Part-time staff cost less ($25.20 in the same release); an hour of the owner’s time, more.
Where to start
The tasks that give back the most hours for the least work.
The tasks that give back at least an hour a month show up here.
Four steps, nothing hidden
The hours from your answers times your cost per hour: what these tasks cost you today. Then, for my estimate, times the share a system can take on (my assumption, task by task) and times 0.8, because a system only saves time once the team uses it.

The fine print
- It’s an estimate built from what you remember, so it’s only as good as your answers.
- The percentages and time frames are my own assumptions, kept on the low side. Every one of them is in the table.
- Every figure is multiplied by 0.8, because a system only saves time once the team uses it.
- It leaves out mistakes, bookings lost to slow replies, and the cost of the project and the tools.
- Any hours a system gives back stay with your team, for the work that needs a person.
- It only knows what you answered here. The rest of your case, we look at on the call.
