An estimate from your inputs and your assumptions — not a quote or a guarantee.

The working, with your numbers
Audit hours / yr = 2 audits × (3 people × 24 h + 12 locations × 15 min ÷ 60) = 150 h Audit cost / yr = 150 h × $25.00 = $3,750 Labour saved = $3,750 × 50% (your assumption) = $1,875 Losses / yr = 10 assets × $600 = $6,000 Losses avoided = $6,000 × 25% (your assumption) = $1,500 Annual benefit = $1,875 + $1,500 = $3,375 Subscription / yr = Business (annual billing) = $830 One-time cost = 1500 assets × $0.00 + $0 = $0 Net per year = $3,375 − $830 = $2,545 Payback = $0 ÷ ($2,545 ÷ 12) = 0.0 months 3-year ROI = (3 × $2,545 − $0) ÷ (3 × $830 + $0) = 307%

Not included: benefits that are real but hard to price (faster answers for auditors, fewer duplicate purchases, maintenance history) and costs specific to you (staff time to roll out, internal approvals). Prices are USD list prices from the pricing page.

How it works

Four inputs, one honest estimate

No hidden multipliers. If a number drives the result, you can see it and change it.

Describe your audits

Enter assets, locations, people, audit frequency, hours and hourly cost.

Add your losses

Enter how many assets go missing each year and their average value.

Set your assumptions

Choose the audit-time and loss reductions you believe are realistic.

Compare with costs

Pick a plan and tag cost; read net benefit, payback and the full working.

FAQ

About this calculator

Annual benefit = audit labour saved + value of losses avoided. Audit labour is audits × (people × hours + locations × setup time) × hourly cost; the saving is that cost × your audit-time reduction %. Losses avoided = lost assets × average value × your loss-reduction %. Net per year subtracts the plan subscription; payback divides the one-time tag and implementation cost by the monthly net benefit. The calculator prints this working with your numbers.
