Is HR software worth the investment?
This calculator estimates the return on investment (ROI) from adopting HR software, by comparing the value of time saved and other efficiency gains against the software’s subscription and implementation costs.
How it works
Monthly Savings = (HR Staff Hours Saved × Hourly Cost) + Other Monthly Savings. Total Savings and Total Cost are calculated over your evaluation period (including one-time implementation cost), and ROI = (Total Savings − Total Cost) / Total Cost × 100. Payback period estimates how many months of net monthly savings it takes to recoup the implementation cost.
This tool is for general business planning purposes. Actual savings depend heavily on adoption, process changes, and organization size.
