The dollar figure values time returned to the team. It is not a payroll saving or a net return after project costs.
How this estimate works
People × hours per person × assumed reduction gives the time freed up in each period. The annual estimate uses 52 weeks, 12 months, 4 quarters, or 1 year. Working days use 8 hours. Staff-time value uses the hourly rate entered.
The starting figures are an illustrative scenario, not an industry benchmark. The $60 hourly rate uses a $120,000 salary and 2,000 annual hours; it excludes benefits and overhead until you adjust it.
