Revenue Recovery ROI Calculator
Find out if investing in automated payment recovery is worth it for your business — spoiler: it almost always is.
This calculator compares the cost of a revenue recovery tool against the additional revenue it can recapture from failed payments. Enter your MRR, failure rate, current recovery efforts, and the tool cost to see your net gain, ROI multiplier, and time to payback. Most SaaS companies see a 10-50x return on recovery tooling.

Formula
Net Monthly Gain = (MRR x Failure Rate x (Rezoki Recovery Rate - Current Rate)) - Tool Cost
We calculate the monthly revenue at risk (MRR times failure rate), then find the difference between what an automated tool recovers (assumed 70%) and what you recover today. That delta is your additional recovered revenue per month. Subtract the tool cost and you have your net gain. The ROI multiplier divides net gain by tool cost. Payback period shows how quickly the tool pays for itself.
How to Interpret Your Results
Under 5x ROI
The tool pays for itself but returns are modest. This usually means your current recovery is already decent or failure rates are low.
5-15x ROI
Solid return on investment. This is common for SaaS companies with standard failure rates and basic existing recovery.
15-50x ROI
Outstanding return. Likely you have minimal recovery efforts today and meaningful MRR. This should be a no-brainer investment.
Over 50x ROI
Your failed payments represent a massive untapped revenue stream. Implementing recovery could materially change your growth trajectory.
Industry Benchmarks
| Segment | Benchmark | Context |
|---|---|---|
| No recovery (just Stripe retries) | 15-25% recovery | Stripe automatic retries alone recover a small fraction. No emails, no outreach. |
| Basic dunning emails | 25-35% recovery | A few automated emails bump recovery but leave significant revenue unrecovered. |
| Multi-channel recovery (Rezoki) | 60-75% recovery | Smart retries + email sequences + AI voice calls + in-app nudges maximize recovery. |
| Manual outreach (CSM team) | 40-55% recovery | Effective but expensive and unscalable. CSM time is better spent on expansion. |
