Discover how Hubstaff time tracking results in tangible return on investment — real savings, increased productivity, and a clearer bottom line. With the Hubstaff ROI Calculator, you can see how time tracking eliminates administrative work, reduces inefficiencies, and enhances team productivity — and translates into savings in real dollars for every hour worked.

Start by entering your team size and average hourly rate below to calculate your ROI.

Think of time like a company credit card; every hour spent is a swipe. If you're not tracking where your money goes, you're probably overspending without even realizing it. Hubstaff helps you monitor every swipe, cut wasteful charges, and reinvest time where it brings the biggest return. 

Accurate time tracking helps teams better tie outputs back to the project budget, helping you measure ROI for your business. Time tracking can reveal trends that equate to real cost savings. For example. AI users were unproductive for 30 minutes less than their non-AI adopting counterparts. For a 50-person team at a $25 hourly rate, that’s:

• 500 hours saved per month 
• $12,500 in reclaimed productivity per month
• $150,000 in annual savings

Here's why ROI matters for your business:

• Quantifies time savings. It calculates the value of time saved by automating manual data entry and timesheet processes. By turning that saved time into a quantifiable dollar amount, it can then be re-allocated to higher-value work.
  
  
• Measures profitability. ROI connects tracked hours to project profitability by showing the exact time spent on each task. This allows businesses to identify overspending, catch budget creep early, and adjust pricing for future projects.
  
  
• Reveals lost revenue. By comparing actual tracked time to the time that should have been billed, the calculator can estimate potential lost revenue from unbilled hours. This helps in justifying the investment in better tracking.
  
  
• Identifies and mitigates risks. An ROI calculator can use time tracking data to spot patterns of extended work hours that indicate potential burnout or to pinpoint which clients or tasks are underpaying for the effort involved. From there, businesses can make adjustments on the fly to prevent project cost overruns.
  
  
• Improves future planning: Historical time data can be used to forecast project timelines more accurately, set realistic deadlines, and make more informed decisions around hiring or resource allocation. 

When you track time with intention, you unlock real ROI. From reducing admin work and payroll overhead to identifying inefficiencies and uncovering lost revenue, Hubstaff helps turn hours into strategic insight. It's not just about saving time; it's about using it smarter to drive growth, protect margins, and plan confidently for the future.
