COMMON QUESTIONS
Plain answers.
The "Admin Tax" is the time and money a business loses to repetitive manual tasks: re-keying data, chasing documents and copying information between systems. Most firms pay it every day without ever measuring it. This free calculator from newlens puts a figure on it in hours, FTE and pounds.
The results are estimates built from your own inputs, assuming 5 working days a week, 46 working weeks a year and 7.5 working hours a day. They are designed to size the problem well enough to make a decision, not to be an audit.
WHAT NEXT
Turn the number into a plan.
The calculator tells you the size of the problem. A free 30-minute introductory call tells you which tasks are worth automating first, and what that would actually involve. This is your self-reported estimate. The Automation Audit validates it on site and turns it into a ranked plan. Want to see more of how we work?
