What this calculator estimates
Estimate help-desk software ROI from faster resolution and recovered employee productivity.
How to use it
Enter Help-desk implementation cost ($); Monthly productivity and labor savings ($); Monthly license and support cost ($); Evaluation period in months; One-time avoided outage or backlog cost ($). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
Gross monthly and one-time benefits are compared with implementation and ongoing costs over the selected period.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Help-desk implementation cost ($) | 30000 |
|---|---|
| Monthly productivity and labor savings ($) | 12000 |
| Monthly license and support cost ($) | 4200 |
| Evaluation period in months | 24 |
| One-time avoided outage or backlog cost ($) | 10000 |
| Estimated return on investment | 127.83% |
|---|---|
| Net financial benefit | $167,200.00 |
| Estimated payback period | 3.8 months |
| Gross benefits over period | $298,000.00 |
Important limitations
Results depend on adoption, attribution, labor assumptions, taxes and actual vendor pricing.
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.
