Cobot ROI Calculator

Estimate the return on investment and payback period of a collaborative robot (cobot) compared to your current manual operation.

How is cobot ROI calculated?

The calculation compares the hourly output of your current manual process with the expected output after adding the cobot, estimating the productivity increase as a percentage. Based on the avoided labor cost (if the cobot replaces an operator) and/or the value generated by additional units produced, it calculates the annual savings or benefit.

Dividing the initial investment by the annual savings gives the payback period (years needed to recover the investment), and the simple ROI expresses that savings as an annual percentage of the investment.

Keep in mind this is a simplified estimate. A real analysis should also include integration, programming, staff training, maintenance costs and possible production downtime during implementation.
