What is repeatable work
actually costing you?

Six sliders, honest math. Estimate what inbox triage, follow-up, scheduling, and reporting cost your business every year — in payroll hours and in leads that quietly die — then compare it to the published price of a managed AI Digital Employee.

Count everyone who touches inbox triage, follow-up, scheduling, or reporting — including you.

Most owners guess low. Email alone commonly eats 5–10 hours a week.

Salary plus taxes and benefits, divided by hours. Use a blended average — and be honest about what an owner-hour is worth.

Keep this conservative. 20% is a defensible default.

Estimated annual leak
$104,160
Labor spent on repeatable work$56,160/yr
Recoverable revenue from slipped follow-up$48,000/yr
AI Digital Employee, managed by Standin$84,000/yr

Borderline — worth a conversation.

Your leak is in the same range as the cost of a Digital Employee. Whether it pays depends on which workflows are actually delegable. That is exactly what a free Fit Call sorts out.

These are your estimates, not our promises. Standin does not guarantee ROI — the numbers exist to make the decision concrete before a conversation.

How does the calculator estimate the leak?Two parts: labor (people × hours per week on repeatable admin × loaded hourly cost × 52 weeks) and revenue (opportunities that go quiet each month × average value × a conservative recovery rate × 12). Your inputs, simple math, no tricks.
Is the result a quote or a promise?Neither. It is your own estimate, made concrete. Standin does not guarantee ROI — the calculator exists so the fit-call conversation starts from real numbers instead of a feeling.
What does the comparison line mean?Standin's AI Digital Employee is $7,000/month ($84,000/year), fully managed. If your estimated leak is well above that, the math favors a conversation. If it is well below, the calculator says so and points you at the workshop instead.

Numbers bigger than
you expected?
