This calculator provides estimates of potential FTE cost savings based on the assumptions you input. The estimates are not guarantees and actual savings may vary based on your specific circumstances.
Key factors that affect the accuracy of your estimate:
Salary Assumptions
The calculator uses industry-average U.S. salary data for IT roles. Your actual labor costs may differ based on geographic region, company size, benefits, and other compensation factors. The salary figures represent total compensation estimates and may not match your specific payroll data.
Efficiency Gain Estimates
The base savings percentages (60-90%) are derived from Automox customer studies and industry benchmarks for endpoint management automation. Your actual efficiency gains depend on your current tools, processes, endpoint diversity, and how fully you adopt Automox capabilities. More experienced IT teams tend to achieve higher efficiency gains as they can better leverage advanced automation features.
Endpoint Count Impact
Larger endpoint deployments typically see greater percentage savings due to the exponential manual effort required to manage endpoints at scale. The calculator uses tiered savings rates: 60% for under 500 endpoints, 70% for 501-1,500, 80% for 1,501-5,000, and 90% for 5,000+ endpoints.
Time Allocation Estimates
The percentage of time your team spends on endpoint management tasks directly impacts the savings calculation. Be realistic about time spent on patching, software deployment, configuration management, and related activities. Overestimating time allocation will inflate savings estimates.
Automox Software Costs
The Automox subscription costs shown use standard pricing with volume discounts applied. Your actual cost may vary based on:
- Contract term length (multi-year agreements may include additional discounts)
- Add-on modules like Remote Control
- Negotiated enterprise pricing
- Promotional offers or partner discounts
What's Not Included
This calculator focuses on FTE labor cost savings. It does not account for:
- Current software licensing costs you may eliminate
- Security breach cost avoidance from improved patching
- Productivity gains from reduced endpoint downtime
- Compliance cost reductions
- Implementation and training costs
ROI Calculation
The ROI shown is calculated as: FTE Savings / Automox Annual Cost. This represents how many dollars in labor savings you receive for every dollar invested in Automox. Net Annual Savings = FTE Savings - Automox Cost.
