Efficiency Calculator

Inefficient ways of working cost organisations more than they realise. Adjust the four values below to match your situation, and you will see straight away how much the status quo costs per year and when focused Microsoft 365 and Copilot skills start to pay off.

All amounts are in Swiss francs (CHF). Nothing is converted, and the default assumptions are based on Swiss salary structures and employer contributions.

How the calculation works

Fully loaded hourly cost = gross salary × a factor of 1.25 (typical employer contributions in Switzerland: AHV/IV/EO, ALV, BVG, UVG, FAK, employer share of health cover) ÷ 1,900 working hours per year.
Hours lost = employees × hours lost per week × 47 working weeks per year (52 weeks minus 5 weeks of holiday and public holidays).
Annual loss in CHF = hours lost × fully loaded hourly cost.
Savings = annual loss × expected efficiency gain.
ROI = (savings × years − investment) ÷ investment, shown as a percentage.

The default values are based on median salaries from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (BFS) and a conservative estimate of 5 hours lost per employee per week through context switching, searching, duplicated work and manual routines. Depending on the industry, anything between 3 and 8 hours is realistic.
