Why automate invoice processing?

Processing an invoice by hand costs most teams $12–$15 all-in and takes several days to clear. Across a few hundred invoices a month, the manual hours add up fast — and every re-keyed figure risks an error or a duplicate payment. AI invoice automation reads the document, checks it against your purchase orders, and posts it to your accounting system — keeping a human in the loop only where the value or risk warrants it.

ROI calculator — FAQ

How is the ROI calculated?

We multiply your monthly invoice volume by the minutes it takes to process one invoice by hand to get your current manual hours. We then assume Automiq handles around 85% of invoices end-to-end, with the rest taking about a minute of human review, and multiply the hours saved by your fully-loaded hourly cost. All assumptions are shown and adjustable.

What counts as the "fully-loaded hourly cost"?

The true cost of an hour of the person doing the work — salary plus employer contributions, benefits, and overhead. For a finance or admin role this is often higher than the base hourly wage; use your own figure for an accurate estimate.

Is the estimate conservative?

Deliberately. We assume a residual review step on every exception and do not count error-reduction, faster close, or duplicate-payment avoidance — all of which add further savings. Treat the number as a floor, not a ceiling.
