ROI calculator

Put in your numbers, see what self-service could give back.

This is an estimate built from your inputs and your own assumptions, not a quote and not a guarantee. There are no hidden baselines and no invented improvement figures. You enter your team size, your toil, and your own conservative estimate of how much of it self-service removes. The maths is simple, it is spelled out on the page, and it runs entirely in your browser — your numbers stay with you unless you ask us to follow up.

Your numbers

Adjust the fields to match your team. The results update as you type.

engineers

People who wait on tickets, gates, or manual approvals to ship.

services

Roughly how many units carry their own platform and CI toil.

days

From request to a service that builds, deploys, and is on the radar.

hrs / wk

Pipeline babysitting, access requests, manual gates, and glue work.

/ yr

Salary plus overheads. Type a number in your own currency. A rough figure is fine.

Your assumptions

These are your estimates, not ours. They drive the result, so keep them conservative and adjust until you trust the number.

%

Your own estimate. Keep it conservative. Start low and see if the case still holds.

days

Your target with golden paths and self-service. Leave it honest.

This is an illustrative model to frame a conversation, not a guarantee. Every figure here is computed from the numbers and assumptions you entered. Change an input and watch it move.

How the numbers are worked out

No hidden assumptions.

  • Engineer-hours reclaimed per week equals your number of services or teams, times the toil hours per team per week, times the share of toil you expect self-service to remove. The share is your own estimate, not ours.
  • Onboarding time saved per new service equals your days to onboard today minus the target you expect to reach. If your target is higher than today, the saving shows as zero.
  • Annual cost of current toil equals total toil hours per year (services times weekly hours times 48 working weeks) times your loaded hourly cost.
  • Reclaimable per year applies your removable share to that annual cost.
  • Hourly cost is your annual loaded cost divided by about 1,920 working hours a year (48 weeks at 40 hours). We use 48 weeks to allow for leave and holidays.

That is the whole model. It is deliberately transparent so you can sanity-check it and lower any figure that feels generous. Real results depend on your workflows, how much you actually move to self-service, and how your team adopts it.
