Your operation
Europe is the default profile. Changing the profile sets regional cost rates. When currency changes, default rates are rounded; custom rates and other inputs are retained, with monetary values converted.
Daily hours outside the gatehouse illustrate an operation with 60 vehicles. They scale down for smaller operations and stay capped for larger ones. The gatehouse uses calendar days; your custom hours remain unchanged.
Entered costs use fixed Czech National Bank exchange rates dated 2026-09-02. Subscription prices follow the selected currency's price list.
Hourly rate sources and calculation
Staff rates estimate employer costs from mean gross wages and related costs. Europe uses broader EU-27 occupational groups for 2022; the USA and Czechia use 2025 data. Waiting and equipment use model rates. Defaults are rounded to 100 CZK or 10 EUR/USD.
Where the savings come from
The calculator starts with an illustrative scenario. Cash savings shares are our estimates informed by customer experience, not percentages measured in the case studies. You can adjust them in advanced settings.

Advanced savings settings
Specify how much of the value of saved time actually reduces spending. At 50%, half of that value counts as cash savings; at 0%, only freed capacity is shown. For staff, this may mean less overtime, fewer shifts or avoided hiring; for equipment, lower operating costs. Do not count the same work in multiple areas.
- Annual value of freed capacity
- –
- Staff capacity freed (h/year)
- –
- Equipment capacity freed (h/year)
- –
- Carrier waiting time saved (h/year)
- –
The value of staff and equipment time includes the portion counted as cash savings; do not add the figures together. Carrier waiting time is reported separately.
Licence and modules
Add-on modules
Include hardware, integration, implementation and training. Enter zero only if no upfront costs apply. Other monthly costs can include equipment running costs or SMS usage.
Real-world comparison
These customer results provide a reference for comparison. Operation size, selected modules and the extent of automation vary.
