FAQ
What does CSROI mean here?
CSROI is “Customer Support Return on Investment”: ROI for support improvements like automation, staffing, training, or tooling.
What formula does this CSROI checker use?
CSROI % = ((Savings + (Revenue uplift × Gross margin) − Cost) ÷ Cost) × 100.
Why do you ask for gross margin on revenue uplift?
Revenue uplift isn’t profit; margin converts uplift revenue into estimated profit so ROI isn’t overstated.
What if my CSROI is negative?
It means estimated benefits are lower than the program cost over the same period; adjust assumptions or extend the time horizon.
How is payback period calculated?
Payback months = Cost ÷ (Total benefits / 12). If benefits are 0, there’s no payback.
Can I use monthly numbers instead of annual?
Yes—just keep all inputs in the same time unit. If you enter monthly values, interpret payback as months and ROI as monthly ROI.
Does this tool store or send my data?
No. The calculations run locally in your browser and don’t make network requests.
