ROI calculator

Build a waste hauling software ROI estimate from your own operation.

Model fuel, route-planning labor, billing labor, and a monthly software budget. Every input is editable, every formula is shown, and every result is an illustrative planning estimate, not a quote or guarantee.

Your assumptions

Fleet and fuel
Set this to your own expected range. The default is illustrative and is not a guaranteed Haultro result.
Weekly administrative time
Enter only the weekly time you expect the evaluated workflow to change. Set either category to zero if it is outside scope.
Software budget
Use the plan you are evaluating and add provider or implementation costs separately when they apply.

This is an editable planning estimate, not a promise of savings or a subscription quote. Real results depend on route density, service mix, fuel price, baseline labor, provider availability, constraints, implementation, and adoption. See how Haultro labels claims →

Transparent formula

Every output traces back to an input you can change.

The calculator does not infer route density, promise automation, or import an industry benchmark. It combines the fleet, time, cost, and planning assumptions shown above.

Fuel value = trucks × monthly fuel per truck × selected percentage × 12
Labor value = weekly planning and billing hours × loaded hourly cost × 52
Potential net value = gross annual value − estimated monthly software cost × 12

Good baseline

Use a consistent measurement period.

Start with recent fuel invoices and actual planning and billing time from the same operating period. Record seasonality or unusual events.

Costs to add

Include the full written scope.

Add applicable provider, hardware, migration, implementation, professional service, payment, and tax costs before using the estimate for a decision.

Value not modeled

Keep uncertain benefits separate.

This calculator does not assign value to customer retention, avoided downtime, new revenue, SLA performance, safety, or regulatory outcomes.

Calculator FAQ

Use the estimate as a question, not an answer.

Does this calculator predict my actual Haultro result?

No. It applies your editable assumptions to a transparent formula. Actual results depend on your baseline, route density, service mix, labor process, provider data, operating constraints, adoption, and written implementation scope.

Why are planning and billing labor included?

Waste software value can come from more than fuel. Connecting route planning, service proof, exception review, and billing may change administrative time, so the calculator lets you include or set those assumptions to zero.

Does the estimate include every cost?

No. The software budget is editable, but taxes, payment fees, telematics, maps, messaging, hardware, sensors, migration, implementation, professional services, and other provider costs may be additional.

What should I do with the result?

Use it as a planning range for a scoped evaluation. Confirm the baseline and measurement period, then compare customer-specific results using the same definitions before relying on an ROI claim.
