Automation ROI Calculator

Estimate the financial impact of labor capacity, scrap, downtime, throughput, and ongoing support. Replace the sample values with your operating data.

Investment and realization

Include equipment, engineering, tooling, controls, safety, installation, training, travel, and commissioning.

Total project investment$Annual operating and support cost$Maintenance, service, software, spare parts, and recurring support.Benefit realization%Use less than 100% to account for ramp-up, demand, and implementation risk.Other annual benefit$Safety, ergonomics, traceability, avoided outsourcing, or other measured value.

SRG planning note: validate assumptions with operations, engineering, maintenance, finance, safety, quality, and IT before presenting the final capital request.

Built for real project categories

Equipment, engineering, tooling, controls, safety, installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing support belong in the investment.

Use contribution—not revenue

Added production creates value only when demand exists. Enter contribution margin per unit instead of total selling price.

A planning estimate, not a guarantee

SRG will validate the process, scope, risks, production assumptions, and implementation requirements before a formal proposal.
