What is Salesforce ROI?

Salesforce ROI (Return on Investment) is a financial metric that measures the profitability of your Salesforce implementation by comparing the benefits gained to the costs invested. It's calculated as (Total Benefits - Total Costs) / Total Costs × 100%.

How accurate is this ROI calculator?

This calculator provides realistic estimates based on industry standards and best practices. The accuracy depends on the quality of your input data. For the most precise results, use actual implementation costs and conservative estimates for revenue growth and productivity gains.

What's a good ROI for Salesforce?

A good Salesforce ROI typically ranges from 300% to 2,000% depending on your industry, company size, and implementation scope. Most companies see ROIs above 500% when properly implemented and adopted.

How is the payback period calculated?

The payback period is calculated by dividing the total investment costs by the annual benefits (Total Costs / Annual Benefits × 12), giving you the number of months it will take to recover your investment.

Should I include training costs in my implementation costs?

Yes, you should include all costs associated with your Salesforce implementation, including software licenses, implementation services, customization, integration, training, and ongoing administration.

How do productivity gains contribute to ROI?

Productivity gains are calculated based on time savings for your team multiplied by their salary costs. For example, if Salesforce saves each user 10 hours per month, and you have 50 users with an average salary of $75,000, the annual productivity gain would be significant.
