Our Savings Calculator allows you to compare the true cost of managing your finance function in-house versus outsourcing it to Sanay. It factors in salary, employment costs, software, office space, and other overheads to give you a clear picture of your potential annual savings. In just a few seconds, you’ll see exactly how much you could save by outsourcing – and more importantly, how that money could be reinvested back into growing your business.

The calculator considers the full cost of employing an in-house finance professional: base salary, employer’s National Insurance, pension contributions, holiday and sick pay, office space, accounting software licences, training, and recruitment costs. Many business owners only think about salary when they consider the cost of hiring, but the true cost is significantly higher. Our calculator gives you the complete picture so you can make a genuinely informed comparison.

The calculator is designed to give you a strong, realistic estimate based on current UK employment cost benchmarks. It provides a ballpark figure that the vast majority of our clients find closely mirrors their real-world experience once they make the switch. Of course, every business is different – so we always recommend following up the calculator with a conversation where we can understand your specific situation and give you a tailored proposal.

Absolutely. In fact, smaller businesses often see the most dramatic savings because the cost of a single in-house hire represents such a large proportion of their overheads. When you factor in that a Financial Controller in the UK costs an estimated £68,000+ per year in total compensation – before office space and software – and compare that to the cost of outsourcing to Sanay, the savings are substantial. Beyond that, you also gain access to a team of professionals rather than relying on one individual.

The calculator focuses on direct cost savings, which is the most tangible and immediately comparable metric. However, the true value of outsourcing to Sanay goes well beyond cost. You gain real-time financial visibility, proactive strategic advice, access to Xero-certified expertise, flexible scalability, and the ability to free up hours of your own time every week to focus on your core business. These are benefits that are difficult to put a number on but make an enormous difference to business performance.
