Find out what admin is
actually costing you.
Every attorney thinks it’s 20% of their week. The real number is closer to 50. Five inputs. Sixty seconds. One number that changes how you see your practice.
Free. No email required to see your number.
The Admin Tax Calculator™ is a free interactive diagnostic tool for solo and small law firm attorneys. It estimates annual revenue lost to non-billable admin work from five inputs, shows what percentage of the week earns $0/hr, and explains what that number means in practical operating terms. It is different from the Time Audit because it gives a fast estimate instead of measuring a full tracked week.
A revenue-loss estimate.
Not a total diagnosis.
The calculator estimates how much annual revenue is being consumed by non-billable admin time at your current billing rate. It answers one question clearly: what is the commercial cost of routine work that is not earning revenue?
It does not replace a full operating diagnosis. It helps you quantify the drag fast, then decide whether the next move is the Time Audit, the Blueprint, or a deeper architecture conversation.
What this is for
Solo and small law firm owners who want a fast estimate of the hidden revenue cost of admin work.
What it delivers
Annualized lost revenue, non-billable hours per week, and a usable diagnosis threshold from five inputs.
Calculator vs Time Audit
Use this tool for speed. Use the Time Audit when you want tracked evidence from a real work week.
Calculator vs Blueprint
Use this tool to estimate the financial drag. Use the Blueprint when you need the broader operating diagnosis behind the number.
Enter your numbers.
Be honest — the calculator only works if the inputs match reality. The number it spits out is yours alone, not an industry average.

the Admin Tax Calculator.
The calculator estimates annual revenue lost to non-billable admin work based on your billing rate, hours worked, billable hours, and vacation weeks. It translates admin drag into a number you can compare against the value of a system fix.
Use the Time Audit when you want tracked evidence from a real week instead of a fast estimate. The calculator is faster. The Time Audit is more behavior-specific.
If the number confirms meaningful drag, the next step is to decide what layer fixes it. Use the Blueprint for a broader operating diagnosis, the Practice OS for architecture, or the $50K Recovery when the workflow design is already clear enough to install.
