Use it when
A task repeats every week, has a clear input, and produces an output a person can review.
Calculator
Calculate whether automation will pay back.
Enter the amount of repeated work and see monthly value, savings and estimated payback.
Automation ROI
How to read the calculator
The calculator estimates whether repeated manual work has enough value to justify an automation build. It is most useful before choosing n8n, Make.com or an AI workflow.
Good candidate
Payback is measured in weeks, not years, and the workflow has one owner who can approve edge cases.
Next move
If the estimate is strong, build one narrow workflow with logging and measurement before scaling.
