Time-cost calculator

Put your own numbers on repetitive knowledge work.

Estimate the time and cost tied up in searching, re-deriving and asking around for organisational knowledge. Every result is calculated from your inputs, not from an Aveya benchmark.

Your inputs

Set your own numbers.

Starts with an illustrative example so you can see how it works straight away — change any figure to turn it into your own estimate.

Illustrative example

Currency labels your figures only. Aveya does not convert between currencies.

Everyone who regularly does this repetitive research, lookup or admin work.

Wage plus overhead. A blended average is fine.

Time spent searching, re-deriving, or asking someone who already knows.

The working weeks this applies across, after leave and holidays.

Refine the estimate

These assumptions determine how much of the current workload might reasonably be affected. Adjust them to test a more conservative or ambitious scenario.

Your estimate of the share of this repetitive work that could reasonably be supported by a governed AI workflow.

Your estimate of the time reduction achievable on that addressable work.

Illustrative annual impact

live · illustrative example

Current annual repetitive-work load

Team size × repetitive hours × working weeks
Annual team hours
1,380 h
Annual cost at your hourly rate
NZD $62,100

Potentially addressable portion

Current annual load × addressable share
Addressable hours
483 h
Addressable cost
NZD $21,735

Illustrative reduction

Addressable portion × estimated time reduction
Potential time released
144.9 h
Equivalent cost of that time
NZD $6,521
How this is calculated
  1. Team size × repetitive hours per person per week = weekly team hours.
  2. Weekly team hours × working weeks per year = annual team hours.
  3. Annual team hours × hourly cost = annual cost of that time.
  4. Annual hours and cost × addressable share = the addressable portion.
  5. Addressable hours and cost × estimated time reduction = the illustrative reduction.

This is an illustrative scenario based entirely on the values and assumptions shown above. It is not an Aveya benchmark or guaranteed saving.

Suggested next step

Explore where governed operational intelligence may fit

Bring these estimates into a walkthrough and identify which records, questions and repetitive workflows may be suitable for a governed AI workflow.

Tailor the next step

Optional. This changes the recommended walkthrough, not the calculation.
