How the estimate is worked out
Every hours figure is for the whole year.
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 01Contracts a year | 36 projects × 30 contracts | 1,080 |
| 02Building and sending, today | 1,080 × 78 min | 1,404 hrs |
| 03Monthly tracking, today | 1,080 × 12 months × 63 min | 13,608 hrs |
| 04Building and sending, with Contracts Connected | 1,080 × 12 min | 216 hrs |
| 05Monthly tracking, with Contracts Connected | 1,080 × 12 months × 8.4 min | 1,814.4 hrs |
| 06Hours saved a year | 15,012 hrs today − 2,030.4 hrs with Contracts Connected | 12,981.6 hrs |
| 07Hourly cost at that salary | $80,000 ÷ 2,080 hours a year | $38.46 |
| 08Estimated savings per year | 12,981.6 hrs × $80,000 ÷ 2,080 | $499,292 |
Hours show to one decimal and every line can be checked by hand. The tiles and bars round to whole hours.

| The work | By hand today | With Contracts Connected |
|---|---|---|
| Building and sending each package | 78 minper contract Choose the right agreement template and copy in the project and vendor data. Generate the PDFs and route them for signature. Email the vendor the contract and the documents it owes, then rename, file and log everything. | 12 minper contract Pick the template and the vendor, and add the vendor’s scope and budget. Project data, entered once, fills every document. The whole package goes out in one send, with e-signature built in. |
| Tracking documents each month | 63 minper contract per month Check your tracking spreadsheet for what’s expiring or missing. Chase vendors for certificates of insurance, weekly certified payroll on prevailing wage jobs, lien waivers and whatever else the job requires. Open and check each file, update the spreadsheet and file it. | 8.4 minper contract per month Vendors upload to their portal, which reminds them Monday and Wednesday mornings until everything is in. Your team approves or rejects each document, approved ones are filed under your naming rules, and one screen shows what’s missing. |
| Hourly cost = salary ÷ 2,080, a full-time year of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Contracts a year = projects × contracts per project. Savings = hours saved × hourly cost. | ||
About the calculator.
What goes into the number.
How does the contract admin savings calculator work?
It counts the hours your contracts take by hand and with Contracts Connected: building and sending each package, then tracking its documents every month it stays open. It prices the hours saved at salary divided by 2,080.
Where do the Contracts Connected savings calculator’s minutes come from?
They’re the calculator’s assumptions for one contract, not measurements: 78 minutes to build and send the package and 63 minutes a month to track its documents by hand, against 12 and 8.4 minutes with Contracts Connected.
Why does the Contracts Connected savings calculator divide salary by 2,080?
2,080 hours is a full-time year: 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Dividing a salary by it gives the hourly cost of the work.
Does the Contracts Connected savings estimate include benefits and overhead?
No. It uses salary only. Benefits, payroll taxes and overhead raise what an hour of admin work costs, so they would raise the savings too.
Does the Contracts Connected savings estimate subtract the cost of the software?
No. It prices the hours saved at salary, before the cost of any Contracts Connected plan.
Do I have to give my email to use the Contracts Connected savings calculator?
No. The result shows as soon as you press Calculate. The math runs in your browser, and our site analytics count each calculation and its result.
