How the estimate works

The calculator multiplies the people doing the work by the hours each spends per day and by 22 working days, then by the hourly cost you enter. It’s a starting point for a conversation, not a promise of savings: some of that time is worth keeping, and some of it disappears once the right system is in place.

Where the hours usually go

  • Retyping the same customer details into a CRM, a calendar and an invoice.
  • Texting customers to confirm appointments and chasing the ones who don’t reply.
  • Checking the bank to see who paid, then sending reminders by hand.
  • Asking every happy customer for a review, or forgetting to.
