Not sure if a task is worth delegating? Get clarity in 30 seconds

🧮 Delegation Payback Calculator











Enter one recurring task. We'll show if it's worth handing off — and how soon it pays back.

Most founders are stuck doing low-leverage work because delegation feels fuzzy:

  • Is this task worth the hassle of handing off?

  • How long would it take to train someone?

  • Is it really worth the cost?

This tool gives you:

  • Real estimated training time (not just task time)

  • Actual cost comparisons

  • A clear Green / Yellow / Red recommendation
    (based on task duration, frequency, training effort, and payback period)

💡 Understanding Your Results

1. Annual Time Burned

Total time this task eats up across the year. Even 5-minute tasks repeated daily can cost 200+ hours.

2. Training Time (3-run model)

We assume it takes 3 guided walkthroughs (plus prep time) to fully hand off a task. We calculate that for you.

3. Break-Even Point

How many weeks does it take to earn back the training investment in time saved?

4. Net Time Reclaimed

Time freed up in Year 1 — after training is done.

5. Total Cost to Delegate vs Keep Doing It

We compare the true cost of delegation (including your time to train) against doing it yourself all year.
