ErgoSavings calculator - your key to understanding ergonomics ROI

ErgoSavings Calculator is a user-friendly tool that lets you explore the benefits of ergonomic workspaces in a tangible way. By analysing key factors like reduced injury rates, and potential cost savings, it highlights how much your company stands to gain from ergonomic investments.

This calculator provides a clear snapshot of the long-term value ergonomic improvements can offer. Our goal is to make it easy for you to make informed decisions, providing insights that show how ergonomics can save time, money, and energy.

The Research Behind the ErgoSavings Calculator

The default values in the ErgoSavings Calculator are based on comprehensive research and real-world data. For example, in Finland, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) accounted for 25% of all compensated sickness days in 2023, highlighting the substantial impact of these conditions on productivity and company expenses (source: Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland). 

Additionally, research has shown that implementing ergonomic interventions can lead to a 72% reduction in sick leave due to MSDs and a 57% reduction in musculoskeletal symptoms

Calculate Your Potential Savings: An Example Scenario

Imagine a midsized manufacturing company with a workforce affected by MSD-related sick leave. If 25% of the company’s sick leave is due to MSDs, and ergonomic improvements reduce MSD-related absences by 72%, this company could see a significant reduction in lost workdays. For instance, if the company incurs 100,000 € annually in MSD-related sick leave costs, applying ergonomic solutions could reduce this by approximately 72,000 €.

The ErgoSavings Calculator uses this type of data to project potential savings, helping you visualize how ergonomic investments translate into both cost reductions and a healthier work environment.

Reduction in sick leave from MSDs due to ergonomic improvements: A study made on estimating the effectiveness of ergonomics interventions revealed that musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders were reduced 57% and absences due to MSDs reduced 72% as a result of measures that improve ergonomics.
