How this is worked out. Your weekly admin hours multiplied by 52 weeks, valued at the charge-out rate you entered. A working week is taken as 38 hours. The final line assumes you win back half those hours — a deliberately conservative figure, because no software removes admin entirely. Move the sliders to match your own week. These are estimates to help you think it through, not a promise of results.
