Illustrative Model Assumptions
These values drive the calculator; they are not measured customer results.
80% Planning-Time Assumption
Share of current planning time modeled as recoverable
95% Error-Reduction Assumption
Modeled reduction in planning mistakes that require correction
10% Overtime-Reduction Assumption
Modeled reduction applied to the overtime entered above
15% Workstation-Efficiency Assumption
Modeled gain against an assumed annual cost per workstation
How this calculation works
The estimate combines four separate savings, then compares the total against the annual subscription cost for your organization size. Your own inputs drive most of it; the reduction percentages below are illustrative assumptions, disclosed here so you can judge whether they fit your case. They are not customer results.
1. Planning time recovered
Your weekly planning hours × your hourly cost × 52 weeks, of which we assume 80% is recoverable. This is normally the largest component and the one you can verify most easily — time the next planning cycle and compare.
2. Fewer planning errors
Your reported monthly planning errors × 12, with a 95% reduction assumed and each incident costed at €150. That figure represents the knock-on effort of a mis-staffed shift — the call-around, unplanned overtime and schedule rework. Compare it with your own incident cost before relying on this part of the estimate.
3. Reduced overtime
Overtime hours are derived from your workstation count at 40 hours per workstation per week, multiplied by the overtime share you entered. We assume a 10% reduction, valued at 1.5× your normal hourly rate.
4. Workstation efficiency
A 15% efficiency gain against an assumed €5,000 annual cost per workstation. This is the softest of the four assumptions. If you want a deliberately cautious business case, discount this component when reviewing the result.
Return and payback
ROI is (total annual savings − annual subscription) ÷ annual subscription, and payback is the number of months of average savings needed to cover one year of subscription. Subscription cost comes from the published plan pricing for your headcount — no setup fee is added, because there isn't one. The result is an illustrative scenario, not a quotation, forecast or customer result; to test it against your real roster, start a 14-day free trial and plan an actual week.
