Field Service Software ROI Calculator

Estimate whether field service software pays for itself by turning technician time saved into a monthly and annual figure you can compare against the subscription cost.

A conservative estimate — your mileage will vary.

How this calculator works

  • Monthly labor savings = technicians × hours saved per week × hourly labor cost × (52 ÷ 12).
  • Total monthly savings adds any other admin time savings.
  • Net benefit subtracts the monthly software cost; ROI divides net benefit by software cost.

Worked example

Five techs saving 2 hours/week at $40/hour is about $1,733/month in labor savings. Add $100 admin savings and subtract $300 software cost for roughly $1,533/month net benefit.

Assumptions & limitations

  • Time savings are your own conservative estimate, not a vendor promise.
  • Uses 52 ÷ 12 weeks per month to annualize weekly savings.
  • Payment-processing fees and onboarding costs are not included — add them to software cost if relevant.

Disclaimer

Results depend entirely on your inputs and assumptions. This is an illustration, not a guarantee of savings or return.

Calculator FAQ

How many hours will software actually save?

It varies widely by workflow and adoption. Start conservative — even one to two hours per technician per week can justify the cost. Measure after rollout to refine the estimate.

Should I include payment processing fees?

If you'll collect payments in-app, add expected processing fees to the monthly software cost so the net benefit is realistic.
