This cost shows up on no invoice: it is spread across hours of people you already pay. Fill in the four fields and see the number.

Whoever types, checks or assembles the report.
Only the manual process, not the whole working week.
An order typed wrong, a duplicate invoice, a number that did not add up.
Salary plus payroll costs, divided by the hours worked in a month.

How the maths works.
- Weeks become months at 52 ÷ 12, which is 4.33 weeks per month.
- Rework hours are counted per month, because mistakes do not happen every week.
- The year is the month times twelve, with no inflation and no interest.
- No estimate of ours: every number in the sum is the one you typed.
What the sum leaves out.
Which is why the real cost tends to be higher than the figure above.
- The decision that waited because the number only exists once someone builds the report.
- The customer lost after the mistake, not just the hour spent fixing it.
- The ceiling on growth when the process depends on one person.
