Fill in the eight required inputs to see your estimate.
How this is calculated
- Service-center pool = employees × benefits calls per employee × share driven by a notice × cost per call
- Comms review cost = pieces × revision cycles × reviewer hours per cycle × loaded rate
- Election errors = employees × error rate × average correction cost
- The pools are separate and are never added together.
- Example: 40 pieces × 3 cycles × 2 hours × $75 = $18,000/year
Source: your inputs. This is money at stake in your documents, not projected savings, and not all of it is attributable or recoverable. An evaluation must measure what actually changes.

Questions
Is this a savings estimate?
No. It is arithmetic on your own inputs: the effort and cost your documents take today. An evaluation measures which part of that effort can change, and whether it does.
Are my numbers sent anywhere?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. Your numbers are not sent to us, not saved, and not added to the page address.
How do I share my numbers?
Download the CSV or print the page, then send it yourself. "Copy a shareable resource link" copies the page address only, without your numbers.
