A cost-of-inaction calculator asks a different question from ROI: what happens financially if the company keeps the current problem for another month, quarter or year?
The simplest model
The model works only when the monthly loss or waste can be explained. That might be manual labour, duplicated software spend, downtime, leakage or another recurring cost.
Estimate the cost of waiting
Make the consequence of delay visible.
Illustrative estimate only. The result changes only from the values entered above.
Do not manufacture urgency
The goal is not to scare the buyer with an exaggerated loss. Keep the assumption editable, label the output as an estimate and explain exactly what the calculation includes.
Use it when delay is part of the buying problem
This model can work well when a project is repeatedly postponed despite a known recurring cost. If the loss is speculative, use a different calculator.
