Methodology and benchmark context
External AP benchmarks show that invoice processing costs and productivity vary widely. This calculator therefore uses your own volume and time assumptions first, then shows benchmark context separately.
inefficient AP examples include $8.78 and 15+ minutes per invoice.
median total AP process cost is listed at $6.00 per invoice processed.
median productivity is listed at 12,000 invoices processed per AP FTE.
e-invoicing and automation savings are benchmark context, not Lift-specific savings.
