About this tool
What the Procurement Savings ROI Calculator does
Procurement programmes save money by renegotiating contracts, consolidating suppliers and controlling maverick spend. Their return compares the savings achieved on addressable spend with the cost of the programme, including any one-off implementation such as a sourcing platform.
Formula
- Realised savings = addressable spend × savings rate × realisation rate
- First-year benefit = savings − annual cost − setup cost
- Payback months = setup cost ÷ (savings − annual cost) × 12
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Addressable annual spend | $2,000,000 |
| Expected savings rate | 8% |
| Share of savings actually realised | 80% |
| One-off implementation cost | $60,000 |
| Annual programme cost | $40,000 |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Realised annual savings | $128,000 |
| First-year ROI | 28.0% |
| First-year net benefit | $28,000 |
| Payback on setup | 8.2 months |
How to read the result
Negotiated savings often leak through off-contract buying and price creep. The realisation rate keeps the forecast honest.
Count only spend you can actually influence; long fixed contracts and regulated costs are usually not addressable this year.
