The Submission Time Calculator by SubmitSaaS is a free interactive tool designed for founders and marketers to measure the real-world time investment and opportunity cost of manual directory listings. By adjusting variables such as total directories, minutes per form, research time, profile preparation, and your hourly financial value, the calculator builds an accurate breakdown of your DIY schedule.

It estimates manual hours, total calendar weeks required, and the literal value of active time saved to help you decide whether to execute a manual submission push or outsource the campaign to a dedicated submission service.
