Salary cost released means the estimated value of staff time that could potentially be redirected to higher-value work. It does not automatically mean a cash saving unless the organisation chooses to reduce paid hours, overtime or additional resourcing.

This calculator provides an indicative estimate only. It uses salary and time inputs only and does not include employer on-costs, pension contributions, overheads or other employment costs. Actual outcomes depend on process complexity, systems, adoption and implementation approach.
