2. Admin Time Calculator
# Admin Time Calculator
Enter three numbers and see what admin costs you a year.
People in sales and marketing
people
Count everyone who sells or markets, including yourself.
Hours a week each spends on admin
hours / week
CRM updates, follow-up, proposals and quotes, scheduling, and content. Use your best count for a typical week.
Cost of an hour of their time
$
Wages plus benefits and payroll taxes, divided by hours worked. If you do not know it, use the hourly wage.
Reset to the example
**people × hours a week × hourly cost × 52 = the yearly cost of admin in sales and marketing**
saving = people × 2.2 hours (or the hours you entered, if fewer) × hourly cost × 52

Yearly cost of admin in sales and marketing
$49,920
3 people at 8 hours a week is 24 hours of admin a week. At $40 an hour, that is $49,920 a year.
- What 2.2 hours a week per person is worth$13,7282.2 hours a week per person
Independent, nationally representative survey research puts Ai time savings at about 5.4% of work hours, roughly 2.2 hours per week per user (St. Louis Fed with Harvard and Vanderbilt, 2024). Salesforce's 2026 research finds sellers spend about 60% of their time not selling. There is no credible independent research on notetaker-specific savings, so your roadmap starts from your own admin hours, and we check them again at your 30-day check-in.
Your roadmap works out what admin is costing you from your own call and puts a plan beside it. We do not promise an hour figure for your business.
