I stopped rebuilding the same SaaS ROI spreadsheet and made a calculator instead

Every time I evaluated a tool I rebuilt the same spreadsheet:
seats x cost per seat, minus hours saved x hourly rate, over
twelve months.

So I turned it into a page. You enter seats, cost per seat,
hours saved per week and an hourly rate, and it returns ROI %,
net annual value, payback period and total hours saved per year.

Free, no sign-up, nothing stored on a server — it saves to your
browser so you can come back to it:

Two things surprised me. Most tools pay back faster than people
assume once you price the hours honestly. And almost nobody
prices the hours honestly.

How do you decide whether a subscription is worth keeping — gut
feel, or do you run the numbers?
