How We Calculate Your ROI
This calculator uses example assumptions you can adjust to match your operation. The factors below are illustrative estimates, not proven Thorbis results:
- More jobs per day (example estimate) - Smarter scheduling and daily route optimization (in development on the Thorbis roadmap) are modeled to reduce drive time and close scheduling gaps. Adjust this estimate to match your operation.
- Higher average tickets (example estimate) - Good-better-best pricing options and upsell prompts are modeled to increase ticket values
- Less admin time (example estimate) - Automated invoicing, scheduling, and customer communication are modeled to reduce manual work
- Follow-up capture (example estimate) - Automated follow-ups, on the Thorbis roadmap, are modeled to catch opportunities that would otherwise slip
These conservative estimates are based on published results from HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home service contractors using modern field service management software — not measured Thorbis outcomes.
ROI is operational, not just a software line item
A good buying case connects Thorbis to time, throughput, cash collection, and the growth work that usually gets pushed aside.
Admin time
Estimate the office hours lost to duplicate entry, chasing invoices, manually dispatching, and reconciling tools.
Technician capacity
Model how better routing, fewer callbacks, mobile completion, and faster invoicing change field throughput.
Cash collection
Account for payment links, on-site collection, reminders, and reduced delay between work complete and invoice sent.
Growth upside
Compare operational savings with revenue gained from follow-ups, maintenance plans, reviews, and better close rates.
Run the rest of your numbers, too.
Beyond ROI, our free business calculators help you price jobs, set rates, and protect your margins, no account required.
Hourly Rate Calculator

Open toolTurn ROI into an implementation plan
The calculator is a starting point. The stronger case maps each expected gain to a workflow change after launch.
- Use conservative inputs first, then rerun with best-case assumptions.
- Validate the output against real payroll, vehicle, dispatch, and billing data before using it in a buying case.
- Pair ROI with implementation planning so expected savings have an owner and timeline.
Run ROI against the work that actually changes
The strongest ROI case separates savings from growth and names the workflow that creates each result.
Office capacity
Measure what happens when the same admin team handles more calls, jobs, invoices, and follow-ups.
Field throughput
Model fewer return trips, faster completion, route discipline, and technician mobile usage.
Collection speed
Estimate the impact of payment links, on-site collection, reminders, and fewer invoice delays.
Growth workflows
Include reviews, win-backs, maintenance plans, and missed follow-up recovery in the upside case.
Make the ROI claim auditable
Baseline
Current admin hours, invoices sent late, average collection delay, callback rate, and lead follow-up leakage.
Change
Which Thorbis workflows will change the metric, who owns the change, and when it should show up.
Evidence
Reports, payment status, dispatch history, and finance review needed to confirm the ROI after launch.
The model is only as useful as the inputs.
Before using ROI in a buying case, make sure the assumptions match the business instead of a rough guess from memory.
Labor
Confirm hourly admin cost, technician loaded cost, overtime, and the time period used in the model.
Volume
Use real job count, average ticket, estimate close rate, callback rate, and invoice timing instead of a single best month.
Adoption
Account for rollout pace, training time, data cleanup, and the workflows the team will actually change first.
ROI should survive review by the people doing the work.
A credible calculator result needs owner, office, field, and finance agreement before it becomes an implementation target.
Owner
Looks for payback period, operating focus, and which metrics prove the investment after launch.
Office
Validates admin time, invoicing delay, payment follow-up, and duplicate entry assumptions.
Field
Checks whether technician capacity assumptions match routing, closeout quality, and mobile adoption.
Finance
Confirms the $299/month + usage at cost subscription, the $100/month utilities credit, payment pass-through costs, payroll impact, and implementation effort.
Validate the ROI after the buying decision.
The calculator should become a launch measurement plan, not a static forecast.
First 30 days
Measure whether scheduling, mobile closeout, invoicing, and payment collection are adopted by the team.
First 60 days
Compare admin hours, invoice delay, payment status, and estimate follow-up against the baseline.
First 90 days
Review whether the ROI model needs adjustment based on real throughput, revenue, and collection data.
The model should name what could stop the return.
Role adoption
Savings do not appear if dispatchers, technicians, and office staff keep using parallel workflows.
Data quality
Dirty customer, price book, job, and invoice data can delay the operating lift.
Metric drift
ROI needs an owner after launch or the model becomes a one-time buying artifact.
Do not let the calculator become a fantasy forecast
ROI should help owners decide where to focus implementation, not just justify software spend.
- Counting savings without assigning the workflow change that creates them.
- Using best-case revenue upside without checking staffing, dispatch, and cash capacity.
- Forgetting one-time implementation effort when planning the first operating quarter.
