Your phantom wage

The coordinator you can't find or can't afford. See the wage you keep when a Phantom Employee runs the work instead, free, and yours to keep.

Coordinator-level tasks piling up each week — replies, scheduling, follow-ups, data tidy-up

What you'd pay a coordinator, all in ($/yr) — wage plus super and on-costs; ~$60k is typical

What it would cost just to hire one ($) — advertising, time, onboarding; ~$23k is typical

$23,000 just to get one through the door

How much of the coordinator role the machine covers — the rest still needs a human in the loop. This is your lever.

70% of the role covered

A coordinator costs you

first-year wage plus the cost just to hire

Kept with the Phantom Employee

the wage gap, year one

The Phantom Employee, annualised

Coordinator tasks it runs each year

Conservative, reference-build estimate, pre-launch. The Phantom Employee is $1,500/mo (~$18k/yr), owned, cancel anytime, and runs coordinator output every day with no wage, no super, no sick days. Recovery is deliberately less than the full wage gap: it counts only the share of the role the machine actually covers (default a conservative 70%), since the rest still needs a human in the loop. Saved-vs-hiring compares your all-in wage plus the one-off hire cost against the annualised fee. Your real number is the one we compute together.
