Hours calculator
What the review hours cost, in your own numbers.
Five numbers about your office, seven that follow from them, and a percentage you set yourself. We do not supply that percentage, because we have not measured it in your office and neither has anybody else.

5,520 hours a year on review. At 30 percent recovered, 1,656 hours, worth $140,760, against $23,880 of seats.
Your numbers · worked from the five above
- Hours a year on discovery and body cam review.5,520 hours
- Hearings a year the calendar asks a memo for.368 hearings
- Hours back a year at 30 percent, which is your assumption and not a measurement of anything.1,656 hours
- What those hours cost you now, at the loaded rate you entered.$140,760
- A seat a year for each attorney, at the introductory annual price on pricing.$23,880
- The share at which the hours back are worth what the seats cost.5.1 percent
- Hours back for each hearing on the calendar.4.5 hours
JavaScript is off, so these seven figures are the five above as they were sent, worked through once. The formula below is how to redo them by hand.
The arithmetic, in full
- Hours a year = attorneys x hours a week x 46 weeks
- Hearings a year = hearings a week x 46 weeks
- Hours back = hours a year x your share
- What they cost now = hours back x your loaded hourly cost
- Seats = attorneys x $1,990 a year
- Break even share = seats / (loaded hourly cost x hours a year)
- Hours back a hearing = hours back / hearings a year
46 weeks is a working year after leave and holidays, and it is an assumption of this page rather than a measurement. Worked through at the numbers this page opens with: 12 x 10 x 46 is 5,520 hours a year, 30 percent of that is 1,656 hours, 1,656 hours at $85 is $140,760, and twelve seats at $1,990 is $23,880. The break even share is $23,880 divided by $85 and then by 5,520 hours, which is 5.1 percent.
What this page is not
Four things this calculator does not claim.
- The percentage is yoursNothing on this page states or implies what Apodicta recovers. The share of review hours that comes back is an input, and it stays an input until a pilot office measures its own.
- The hours are yours tooThe calculator knows nothing about your caseload. It multiplies the five numbers you type by a working year and prints the result, which is arithmetic you could do on paper.
- The seat price is ours, and it is introductoryOne seat is $1,990 a year on the pricing page today, labelled introductory there because it is a hypothesis to test in the first pilots. It may move.
- Measured hours come from a pilotA pilot measures hours by task on your own files, before and after, and the sheet it is measured on is the pilot kit rather than this page.
After the arithmetic
The only number worth quoting is the one you measured.
A number off this page is your estimate of your own hours. A number worth putting in front of a chief is a measured one: the same task, on your own files, timed before and timed after. That is what thepilot is for, and where the hours on what the review actually takes come from. What a seat costs, and what every tier includes, is onpricing.
