What this estimate includes — and what it doesn't This calculator shows you the baseline time and cost savings HR teams typically experience after switching to Ciphr HR software. The figures are based on real customer data. On average, HR teams save six or more hours per week on core admin tasks like absence management, payroll queries, crafting reports and updating employee data.
That's the floor. Not the ceiling.
It doesn't account for the additional time savings many customers experience from Ciphr's AI-powered tools, which automate repetitive tasks and surface insights faster. It doesn't include the efficiency gains from our analytics suite, which gives HR leaders the data to act, not just report. It doesn't factor in the time saved through our talent management, case management, or onboarding modules.
And it only measures time. It doesn't put a number on things that are harder to quantify but no less real:
• Better strategic decisions because your people data is holistic and up to date
• Greater employee satisfaction because HR can focus on people, not paperwork
• Faster time to productivity for new hires because onboarding is structured and consistent
• IT resource savings from running one integrated system instead of several disjointed ones
• Or reductions in absence because you can actually see what's driving it and act early
This estimate is a starting point. Your Ciphr consultant will build a detailed commercial picture that reflects your specific organisation, your current setup, and the full range of benefits that matter to you.
