Calculate Your Accessibility ROI

Explore costs under your own file volume, staff rate, and review-time assumptions. All amounts, including the hourly rate you enter, are in USD. These estimates are not measured savings or evidence of WCAG conformance.

Assumptions: This six-month scenario uses the labor reduction you chose above. It is not an Aelira performance claim. Include review, unresolved issues, deployment costs, processing allowances, and your own pilot measurements before relying on it.

How We Calculate ROI

Manual Cost Baseline

We calculate total documents × hours per document × hourly rate to establish your manual remediation baseline.

Your labor assumption

Your chosen reduction controls the estimate. The default is zero because no general labor saving has been established. Human review and manual repairs remain in scope.

Total Savings

Manual cost minus (Aelira subscription + reduced labor cost) = the modeled difference over six months. It can be negative.
