Reduce Admin
The Admin Tax Calculator

How much is repetitive admin costing your organisation?

Small tasks become expensive when they repeat across teams, sites and thousands of working days. This estimates the annual cost in time, money and capacity.

Nine questions, about three minutes. No preparation needed. Results are an indicative estimate based on your inputs, not a guaranteed saving.

Start with the real number instead

The calculator estimates the size of the problem from figures you supply. A short audit works it out from your actual workflows, systems and rework. Twenty minutes, no preparation, no obligation.

Methodology

How the number is worked out.

A calculator that hides its assumptions is a sales tool pretending to be an analysis. These are ours, stated plainly so you can disagree with them.

The core calculation

For each role group: headcount, multiplied by repetitive admin hours per day, multiplied by working days per year, multiplied by a loaded hourly cost. The three groups are then summed.

Role mix estimate

Estimated from your organisation type and headcount using UK adult social care workforce data and our model assumptions. You can adjust the split if it looks wrong, and the estimate updates.

Assumptions we declare

225 working days per year. 1,650 productive hours per full-time equivalent. Loaded hourly costs including employer national insurance, pension and overheads. All are editable in the result.

What this is not

Not a guaranteed saving, an audit, a compliance assessment or a regulatory score. It estimates the size of a problem using figures you supply. The risk scores are directional self-assessments.
