What is ROI
Cost - Benefit analysis
It measures the return or gain on an investment relative to its cost
ROI = (Profit - Costs) / Costs * 100 %
E.g. an investment with a cost of $100 and a profit of $100 would have an ROI of 1, or 100% when expressed as a percentage
This process does not only gives us information and metrics on profits and gains, but also in a way covers a feasibility check for automation. I gives idea on what all tools, platforms, resources we will need
How much time will it take
What this we should take care, risks
What to include in ROI Calculation for Automation Testing
*Costs*
Tooling Costs
Staffing Costs
Maintenance Costs
Time & Efforts
Risks
*Other Factors*
Complexity of software to be tested
No of Test Cases to be automated
Frequency of releases
Level of automation maturity in the organization
*Benefits*
Reduced test execution time
Increased test coverage
Reduced risk of defects
Improved speed & efficiency
Increased quality & productivity
Efficient use of human resources
*Why do we need to calculate ROI*
To ensure we know what will it take for Automation Testing
We understand the investment in terms of tools, time, effort, cost, man-hours
To justify the investment
Evidence-Based Decision-Making
To know the goals and outcome of the process
Resource allocation
Budget planning
Risk assessment
Project prioritization
Business Alignment
Stakeholder communication
It helps organizations make data-driven decisions, allocate resources effectively, and ensure that automation efforts align with business priorities
*Examples with downloadable spreadsheets*
As some people have done a very good work on this topic and also provided templates online, I will mention some of them that you can readily use

*Tips for ROI Calculation*
Consider and measure the cost and benefits for a long period
1 month
2 months
3 months
….
Generally the returns will go in -ve in the initial few months as we invest on automation tools, platforms, people, training, etc, but as we go along the cost decreases and returns on investment increase
