Duplicate data entry, spreadsheet work, copy-paste between tools, manual reporting.

Projection compounds at 15%/year — the tax grows as SaaS sprawl, data volume, and wage inflation rise.

We'll send a detailed breakdown plus the three fastest ways to eliminate your biggest tax category.

The Five Categories Your Tax Is Made Of

The calculator rolls them into three cost pools. Here's what sits inside each one.

Duplicate Entry Tax

Data entered once, retyped into another system. Every re-entry wastes time and creates error risk.

Spreadsheet Middleware Tax

Critical numbers living in spreadsheets because tools don't talk. Unauditable, fragile, maintained by one person.

Error Correction Tax

The second cost of every manual error — diagnosis, fix, follow-up, apology. Usually larger than the original task.

Human Middleware Tax

Your most expensive people spending time coordinating work instead of doing it — status-chasing, tab-switching, reconciliation.

Headcount Creep Tax

Hiring to scale capacity that software could absorb at zero marginal cost — locked in as permanent payroll and overhead.
