A number you can defend in front of your CFO.
Five inputs, transparent math. Edit any assumption you don't believe. Take the number to your finance team and let them try to break it — that's the version that gets approved.
Your numbers

Number of learners (frontline reps, tellers, associates).
What you pay your existing LMS, all in.
Total training time, all topics.
Salary + benefits + overhead. If unsure, use 1.4× hourly wage.
Sets retention and revenue-impact benchmarks.
Net savings · Year 1
$240,480
Dollar value of hours saved $276,480 minus FactSumo cost $36,000. Payback in ~2 months.
Hours saved per year
5,760 hours
Based on 40 training hrs/person at typical pace, vs. FactSumo's 42-min weekly cadence.
Dollar value of hours saved
$276,480
5,760 hours × $48 loaded cost per hour.
Retention delta
+29pt
87% retention with FactSumo vs. 58% benchmark for banking & financial services.
Estimated FactSumo cost
$36,000
200 learners × $15/mo × 12 months. Annual contracts get ~15% off.
Show the math
old_training_hours = 40 × 1 = 40.0 hrs/person/yr
new_training_hours = 40.0 × (42 / 150) = 11.2 hrs/person/yr
hours_saved_per_person = 40.0 − 11.2 = 28.8 hrs
total_hours_saved = 28.8 × 200 learners = 5,760 hrs
dollar_value = 5,760 × $48 = $276,480
factsumo_cost = 200 × $15 × 12 = $36,000
net_savings = $276,480 − $36,000 = $240,480
Benchmarks: 42 min/week (FactSumo customer cohort) vs. 2.5 hrs/week (Forrester TEI, regulated industries 2024). Retention figures from FactSumo customer cohort (n=14,200) vs. industry LMS averages. Excludes revenue lift, ramp-time savings, and audit-cost reduction — those are part of the custom model.
This is a conservative model. It excludes revenue per rep (typ. $3,400/rep/yr in banking & financial services), reduced new-hire ramp time, and audit-cost reduction — all of which we'd model with you on a call.
