Savings Estimator

What does your back-office work really cost?

Most agencies don’t have a full-time person for every function — the work is spread across an owner, administrator, bookkeeper, and part-time help. This estimator starts from that reality and shows the result honestly, including when it doesn’t pencil out.

Are these duties combined across positions today?

Shared duties default each function to 0.25–0.50 FTE. You can adjust every role below.

Workload Intrinsic could absorb

For each function, say whether someone on your payroll does it now, or whether you’d otherwise need to hire for it. Your people stay; their time shifts toward care and quality.

A negative result means the numbers you entered don’t justify a package today — the free Toolkit or a custom Starter plan may be a better fit. Setup and cleanup are first-year costs only.
