What this calculator estimates
Estimate CRM software return on investment from licenses, implementation, training, staff time savings and incremental revenue.
How to use it
Enter CRM users; Monthly license cost per user ($); Evaluation period (months); Implementation and integration cost ($); Training and change-management cost ($); Hours saved per user per month; Loaded hourly labor cost ($); Incremental revenue during period ($); Gross margin on incremental revenue (%). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
Total cost includes user licenses, implementation and training. Estimated productivity value multiplies saved hours by users, months and labor cost; gross profit from revenue lift is then added before ROI is calculated.
Worked example: starting scenario
| CRM users | 25 |
|---|---|
| Monthly license cost per user ($) | 85 |
| Evaluation period (months) | 12 |
| Implementation and integration cost ($) | 18000 |
| Training and change-management cost ($) | 7500 |
| Hours saved per user per month | 6 |
| Loaded hourly labor cost ($) | 48 |
| Incremental revenue during period ($) | 180000 |
| Gross margin on incremental revenue (%) | 45 |
| Estimated CRM return on investment | 228.24% |
|---|---|
| Total CRM cost | $51,000.00 |
| Estimated productivity value | $86,400.00 |
| Gross profit from incremental revenue | $81,000.00 |
| Estimated net benefit | $116,400.00 |
Important limitations
Adoption, process quality, data migration, sales-cycle changes, churn, support costs and attribution can materially affect real CRM value.
ROI is undefined when the total modeled cost is zero. The associated cash-flow amounts can still be calculated; an undefined return percentage is not a zero-percent return.
