Common questions
What is the "Admin Tax"?
The "Admin Tax" is the time and money a business loses to repetitive manual tasks: re-keying data, chasing documents and copying information between systems. Most firms pay it every day without ever measuring it. This free calculator from newlens puts a figure on it in hours, FTE and pounds.
How accurate are the figures?
The results are estimates built from your own inputs, assuming 5 working days a week, 46 working weeks a year and 7.5 working hours a day. They are designed to size the problem well enough to make a decision, not to be an audit.
What next
The calculator tells you the size of the problem. A free discovery call tells you which tasks are worth automating first, and what that would actually involve. No pitch deck, no obligation. Want to see more of how we work? The free AI Readiness Assessment doubles as a live demo of our automation.
