Free preparation effort calculator

How much time does the current process take?

Use your own figures to estimate monthly preparation and review effort. Nothing is sent or stored. Change the inputs to compare scenarios.

Enable JavaScript to calculate locally, or multiply tasks by minutes and divide by 60 for monthly hours; multiply those hours by your hourly cost. Nothing needs to be submitted.

The starting values are examples, not industry benchmarks. Cost is hours multiplied by your hourly figure. This is an effort estimate, not a forecast of cash savings or a claim about any kit. Salaried time is not automatically a recoverable cash cost.

Use the result to choose a small improvement

Identify which part of the task consumes the effort: finding records, drafting, checking or chasing follow-up. Trial one change and measure the full task again, including correction time.
