PELORA PARTNERS | EFFICIENCY CALCULATOR

Small inefficiencies. Significant consequences.

Consider the manual processes, recurring delays or workarounds that have become routine within your business.

Individually, they may appear insignificant. Across a workforce, their cumulative impact on time, capacity and operating costs can be substantial.


Consider one recurring inefficiency.

Adjust the figures to explore its potential impact across your business.

Count only the people who regularly experience this process, delay or workaround.

30 min

Estimate the daily time spent on the one recurring activity you have in mind.

Default: A$26.44 national minimum wage from 1 July 2026.

Default: 230 days. Adjust for your workforce.

How was 230 working days calculated?

260 weekdays in a 52-week year (five days a week), less 20 days of annual leave and approximately 10 public holidays. This is an illustrative Australian estimate, not a universal entitlement or roster. Personal leave and other absences are not deducted.

What does the hourly labour cost include?

A$26.44 is the Australian National Minimum Wage effective 1 July 2026 for relevant adult award- and agreement-free employees. It is a starting reference, not a universal legal rate or the full employer cost. Adjust for your employees' actual hourly cost, including relevant on-costs if appropriate. Awards, agreements and employment arrangements may require higher pay.
