02What this isn’t

This is a planning tool, not a quote.

Defaults reflect averages across the UK accountancy practices we’ve audited. Your real numbers will differ — and that’s exactly what the 20-minute practice review is for. We’ll run the same calculation against your actual stack and admin load, and price the tier that fits.

03Common questions

ROI calculator questions, answered plainly.

What does the ROI calculator measure?

Five inputs (active clients, practice staff, monthly software spend, weekly admin hours lost, expected next-hire cost) produce a monthly recovered value, a subscription delta, hours recovered, capacity created, a vendor-sprawl rating, a payback ratio, and the annual PracticeBase cost as a percentage of one junior hire.

How is the avoided hire calculated?

The calculator divides annual PracticeBase cost by your expected next-hire cost to show what proportion of one junior salary the platform represents. For a typical 3-staff UK practice, PracticeBase costs around 15–20% of one fully-loaded junior hire per year.

Are the results a quote?

No. The ROI calculator is a planning tool. Defaults reflect averages across UK practices we have audited. Your real numbers are confirmed during the 20-minute practice review.

How does PracticeBase recover hours per month?

PracticeBase reclaims roughly 70% of weekly admin-chase hours by consolidating vendors, automating reconciliation and providing a named UK specialist who handles the workflow. Recovered hours are valued at £75/hour of owner time.
