13 finance-grade ROI calculators

Put a defensible number on your digital transformation

Build business cases the way finance reads them. Projection mode shows what's possible before you invest; Impact mode proves what you delivered after.

  • Conservative, base and upside scenarios on every calculation
  • Every figure itemised — inputs, assumptions, and the maths between them
  • Export to PDF and CSV, or share a read-only link — no signup to calculate

The output

This is the deliverable

Not a widget on a vendor page — a report you can hand to a CFO and defend line by line.

Itemised receipt ledger

Every figure traces to an input you entered or an assumption stated on the page. Nothing appears from nowhere.

Three scenarios, multi-year model

Conservative, base and upside on every run — with NPV, IRR and discounted payback at a discount rate you control.

Boardroom-ready outputs

A designed PDF, a CSV of the underlying numbers, and read-only share links for people without an account.

Two modes, one loop

Forecast it. Deliver it. Prove it.

Before you invest

Projection

Model the initiative before a dollar is committed: what it should return under conservative, base and upside assumptions, when it breaks even, and what the multi-year picture looks like. This is the business case that gets funding approved.

After you deliver

Impact

Once the work ships, run the same calculation with actuals instead of estimates. The result is a benefits-realization statement: what was actually delivered, in the same terms the original case was made.

The loop closes itself: the projection becomes the baseline, and the impact report measures delivery against it. Most business cases end at the approval meeting — yours gets audited, and passes.

Who it's for

Built for the people who own the number

Transformation leads

Build the business case finance will actually sign. Scenarios, payback and NPV in the vocabulary your CFO already uses — not a marketing number you have to walk back later.

Consultants

Client-ready artifacts in minutes, not spreadsheet afternoons. Send a read-only link or a designed PDF, and let every figure carry its own working.

PMO & benefits realization

One portfolio view across every initiative — projected against delivered, in consistent terms, so the benefits ledger is a report you run rather than a document you chase.

Why not a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet is fine — until someone else has to trust it.

Every constant cited, every formula tested

The benchmarks behind each calculator are published with their sources, and the formulas are versioned and covered by automated tests. When someone asks where a number came from, you have a page to point at.

Questions

The things people ask before they run the first number

Is it really free?

Yes. Your first calculator is free forever, with unlimited re-runs and one saved report. No card required — you only pay if you want the rest of the suite.

What do I get with Pro?

All 13 calculators, unlimited saved reports, PDF and CSV export, read-only share links, and the portfolio view across your initiatives. $19/month, or $182/year (about two months free).

Can I defend these numbers?

That's the point of the product. Every industry constant is cited on the methodology page, every assumption is editable and shown on the report, and the ledger traces each figure back to an input. If you disagree with a benchmark, change it — the report records what you used.

Can stakeholders see my report without an account?

Yes. Every report can be shared as a read-only link — recipients see the full report, scenarios and assumptions included, without signing up. You can also export a designed PDF or the raw CSV.

What happens to my data?

Your inputs and reports belong to you: they're stored so you can return to them, and they're never sold or used for advertising. The details are in our privacy policy.
