📊 Essential ROI Formulas
🎯 Basic ROI Formula
ROI = (Benefits - Costs) / Costs × 100
Where Benefits = Time Saved × Hourly Rate
Example Calculation:
• Annual Benefits: $45,000 (time savings)
• Annual Costs: $12,000 (tool + implementation)
• ROI = ($45,000 - $12,000) / $12,000 × 100
• Final ROI: 275%
⏱️ Time-Based ROI Formula
Annual Savings = Weekly Hours Saved × 52 × Avg Hourly Rate
Time Saved = Original Time - New Time
Example Calculation:
• Weekly time saved: 8 hours
• Average hourly rate: $85/hour
• Annual savings: 8 × 52 × $85 = $35,360
• Monthly value: $2,947
📈 Productivity ROI Formula
ROI = (Productivity Increase % × Team Output Value) / Tool Cost
Productivity measured by deliverable speed
Example Calculation:
• 25% productivity increase
• Team output value: $500,000/year
• Benefit: 0.25 × $500,000 = $125,000
• ROI: 1,042% (vs $12k cost)
💸 Cost Avoidance ROI
ROI = (Avoided Costs + Direct Savings - Tool Cost) / Tool Cost
Include hiring delays, rework prevention
Example Calculation:
• Avoided hiring: $60,000 (0.75 FTE)
• Reduced rework: $15,000
• Total avoided: $75,000
• ROI: 525% (vs $12k cost)
