Help build my business caseHow we value an hour, how this works.
Hours are valued at about $68 for HR and payroll staff and about $62 for everyone else. These are fully loaded rates. They include the 12% Superannuation Guarantee, state payroll tax where your wages bill crosses the threshold, workers compensation premiums and other employment costs. They are calculated on productive hours after leave and public holidays, not a notional 52-week year.
A free tool that estimates how many hours a year better HR, payroll and rostering could unlock in your organisation, what that time is worth, and how complex your pay rules are.
Not all saved time turns into extra output. We count 75% of it, and show you the full hours separately.
Fair Work award rates from 1 July 2026, the ELMO 2026 HR Industry Benchmark and published Australian absence and replacement cost research, plus ELMO’s own estimates.
Each result is one figure from your answers multiplied by a published or stated assumption. Where we use our own aggregated data set, we say so. Hours are shown in full. Value counts 75% of those hours as productive.
It shows the value side of ROI: time unlocked and what it’s worth. ROI, payback and cost depend on your pricing, so we build those with you in a business case.

This calculator provides an indicative estimate for general information purposes only. It is not an ROI, payback or financial-return calculator and does not include ELMO’s pricing, implementation costs or other costs of acquiring or using an ELMO solution.
The estimate is based on the information you enter and assumptions drawn from published research, industry benchmarks and ELMO estimates. Your inputs have not been independently verified by ELMO, and the assumptions may not reflect your organisation’s particular circumstances.
The results indicate potential hours of administrative capacity that may be unlocked and an indicative labour-cost equivalent of that time. They do not represent guaranteed time savings, cash savings, increased revenue, a reduction in headcount or a recommendation to reduce staffing.
Actual outcomes will depend on factors including your organisation, processes, workforce, systems, implementation, product configuration and how the solution is used. The results are not a quote, forecast, guarantee or promise of outcomes, and should not be relied on as financial, accounting, legal, employment, tax or payroll compliance advice.
The figures and assumptions used are current as at 3 November 2026 and may change. You should obtain specific advice and prepare a separate business case, including applicable product, implementation and ongoing costs, before making any investment or operational decision.
