What routine work costs your company
Enter how many of your people work at a computer — see how many hours per month go to automatable routine and how much of it AI agents can take over. Runs fully in your browser, no sign-up.
Doesn't affect the math — used for the org chart and company scale.
~571.2 h/mo goes to automatable routine
AI agents could free up
142.8–285.6 h/mo
Where exactly are these hours? Org chartthat time is worth ≈ $19,040/mo
value of the freed time: ≈ $4,760–$9,520/mo
How do you get them back? 30-min reviewThis is an estimate of time value, not guaranteed P&L savings: money only appears when freed hours are redirected to value-creating work.
The formula (fully open)
routine hours = computer-based people × 168 h/mo × 34% (average routine share); freed = routine hours × 25–50%; value = hours × (salary ÷ 168).

Methodology & sources
The calculation uses ONE averaged routine share — 34%: the mean of the five office functions in the table below. Every coefficient is an estimate: some are anchored in public research (clickable sources), some are purely ours. The studies measure the automation potential of activities in a function; mapping that onto the share of working time is our conservative assumption. That is why the result is a range, not a point.
| Function | Routine share | Based on |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | 30% | estimate based on: McKinsey — Sales automation: The key to boosting revenue and reducing costs (>30% of sales activities can be automated) (2020) |
| Customer support | 35% | estimate based on: McKinsey — gen AI in customer care (up to 50% of human-serviced contacts could be deflected in banking/telco/utilities) (2023) |
| Marketing | 35% | estimate based on: McKinsey — Reinventing marketing workflows with agentic AI (up to two-thirds of current marketing activities) (2025) |
| Operations | 30% | our estimate |
| HR | 40% | estimate based on: Folks State of HR Survey 2026 (70% of HR time in SMBs is administrative; Deloitte estimates up to 57%) (2026) |
| Average across functions (used in the math) | 34% | our estimate — the mean of the five rows above |
| Share of routine AI agents take over | 25–50% | our estimate |
“Our estimate” = a number with no external study behind it. A sourced number = our conservative interpretation of the study, not a direct measurement.
Default salary is the mean of BLS Occupational Outlook medians (May 2024) across five office functions, converted to monthly. These are gross (pre-tax) figures; the estimate stays conservative because employer overhead is not included.
