See the payback period on AI automation — before you spend a dollar.

Three numbers in. Your payback period out.
Tell us about your team
How many people, how much they cost loaded (salary + benefits + overhead). The calculator uses realistic Canadian averages if you’re not sure.
Estimate manual hours
Data entry, follow-ups, reporting, scheduling — the tool shows a typical range by role so you can guess low and still see the case.
See your monthly savings
The calculator outputs reclaimed hours, monthly savings, and the break-even month on a typical Planext automation build.
Turn the “should we automate?” debate into a one-page case.
Board-ready numbers in 60 seconds
Export the result straight into your proposal deck or finance review. No spreadsheet gymnastics required.
Conservative by design
We use the low end of real Planext project outcomes — so the case holds up even if the rollout only partly succeeds.
Compare scenarios side-by-side
Tweak one input and the numbers recompute instantly — perfect for answering “what if we only automate Sales first?”
A shared number to align on
Finance, operations, and leadership all see the same math — end the gut-feel debate and move to “when can we start?”
The questions finance always asks.
Where do the benchmarks come from?
They’re drawn from anonymised Planext client rollouts across 12 industries. We use medians, not best-case outliers, so the result you see is realistic.
What if I don’t know my loaded hourly cost?
Leave the field blank — the calculator substitutes a Canadian average for your role mix. You can always refine once you have the real number.
Does this include the cost of the Planext build?
Yes. The “payback month” output factors in an average Planext implementation cost for a comparable team size. Your actual quote may be lower after scoping.
Can I share the result with my CFO?
Absolutely. Every calculation can be emailed as a one-page summary — clean, branded, and ready to drop into an internal business case.
