Your manual tasks

List the repeated jobs done by hand: re-typing, copying between files, chasing, reconciling.

Task 1
Your own figure: what the person costs you in total (salary and everything else), divided by the hours they work.
Your assumption, not a measured result. It starts at 25 only so there is something to move. Zeyto does not promise any saving.

Result, based on your numbers

Add at least one task with hours and people, and the cost of an hour. The monthly and yearly cost of the manual work appears here.

Where to look next

Please note. This is arithmetic on your own inputs and assumptions. The saving is what would follow if the share you choose were saved; it is not a promise.

How it is calculated

The working

  • Hours a month for a task = hours a week per person x people x 52 / 12 (52 weeks in a year, 12 months).
  • Cost a month = hours a month x the cost of one hour that YOU enter (the person's total cost divided by the hours they work).
  • Cost a year = cost a month x 12.
  • Time saved = cost x the share YOU choose with the slider. It is an assumption, not a measurement. The slider starts at 25 only so there is something to move.
  • The result shows what would follow IF that share of time were saved. It is not a promise, not a claim about any product, and not advice. Working days are hours / 8, shown only to make the hours easier to picture.

Sources

  1. Arithmetic only; no regulatory source applies. Hours, people, hourly cost and the time-saved share are all values you enter.

Questions

Common questions

How much will I save with Zeyto?
This calculator cannot say, and neither can we from a web page. It shows the cost of the manual work you describe, and what a time-saved figure that you choose would be worth. Test the real saving on one task in the live demo.
What hourly cost should I use?
The person's total monthly cost to you (salary and everything else you pay for them) divided by the hours they actually work. If you are unsure, use a lower figure.
Why is the time-saved slider already at 25?
So that you can see the result move as you drag it. It is a starting point for you to change, not a typical or expected figure.
Does it store what I type?
No. The numbers stay in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you choose to leave your email for tips. If you do, the form says that the result shown on the page goes with your signup; the other things you typed do not.
