Frequently Asked Questions

How is the $58 per expense report calculated?

The $58 figure is based on Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) data. This includes: employee time to prepare and submit reports (20 minutes average), manager review time (10 minutes), and accounting staff processing and approval time (15 minutes). At average US hourly rates, this totals approximately $58 per report. This cost increases in Canada due to GST/HST/PST complexity adding 15-20% to processing time.

Why do Canadian costs differ from US costs?

Canadian expense processing is more complex due to: multiple provincial sales taxes (PST, GST, HST), Input Tax Credit (ITC) tracking requirements, and bilingual documentation needs. These factors add 15-20% to processing time and cost. Additionally, our calculator includes potential ITC recovery savings with VeloLedger, which Canadian companies can capitalize on through proper receipt categorization and tracking.

What if we already use VeloPulse Professional?

Great news! VeloLedger comes free as part of VeloPulse Professional and Enterprise tiers. If you check the "VeloPulse Professional" option above, the VeloLedger subscription cost drops to $0, making your ROI even more impressive. You'll still benefit from all the processing cost reductions, error minimization, and finance team productivity gains.

How quickly will we see ROI?

Most companies see positive ROI within 1-4 months, depending on company size and current manual process efficiency. Smaller companies (10-50 employees) typically see returns in 2-4 months, while larger organizations (200+ employees) often break even within 1-2 months. The payback period shown in your calculation above reflects your specific scenario.
