Custom Fuel App · Office-Time Calculator

How much of your office’s phone time could online ordering actually get back?

Your office closes at five. His tank doesn’t care. Enter your own headcount and hours — every number below is built from what you type in, not from a number we made up.

Free. No signup. Nothing you type is sent anywhere until you ask us to email it.

Your office, your numbers

Every field is yours to edit — the numbers below change as you type. Fields marked illustrative default are your own estimate, not a Propane Insider claim.

Your own headcount — the people who take order and account calls.

Your own count. Powers the breakeven comparison below — it does not change the dollar figure.

Your estimate. We have no measured Custom Fuel App number yet, so we start low — two hours a week, about twenty minutes a day. Edit it to what your phones actually do.

Pre-filled from the national average customer-service-rep wage: $24.36/hr (Gray, Gray and Gray, 2025, National Propane Industry Survey). Adjust to your own rate.

What your numbers project

Built from your inputs above. No dollar figure for our product, ever.

Office hours saved / week4 hrs
Office phone-hours you’d get back / year208 hrs
Value of time recovered / year$5,067

Every number above is arithmetic on the fields you entered — hours saved per week = your office headcount × your hours-saved estimate; hours per year = that × 52 weeks; value = hours per year × your own hourly rate. No hidden multiplier. Estimate, not a guarantee or a measured Custom Fuel App result.

The size where online ordering usually starts paying off

You have 200 active residential customers. Online ordering usually starts paying for itself somewhere north of 300 — you’re below it today.

That 300 figure is our own rule of thumb, not a survey number.

Want these numbers saved? Optional — the calculator above works with or without this.
