What's the ROI of Certifyd?

We compare the time and cost of manual identity checks against Certifyd's automated process. The model accounts for labour time saved per check, error remediation costs avoided, and the probabilistic cost of compliance penalties. All assumptions are shown in the breakdown.

Industry benchmarks show that a typical manual Right to Work check — including document collection, visual inspection, copying, filing, and follow-up — takes an average of 22 minutes of HR time. Certifyd automates this to approximately 3 minutes of active time.

Studies of manual document verification processes consistently find error rates between 8% and 15%. Common errors include accepting expired documents, failing to spot counterfeit IDs, recording incorrect details, and not completing follow-up checks for time-limited permissions. We use a conservative 12% midpoint.

Compliance penalties are a real cost of doing business. The Home Office issued over £130M in civil penalties in 2025. We use a conservative model — 2% of your workforce having an exposure, with a 10% probability of being caught — to estimate the risk-adjusted value of proper verification.

34% of businesses fail to re-verify workers whose Right to Work permission is time-limited (e.g. visa expiry). Missing these follow-up checks is an offence — penalties are typically £15,000+ per worker. Certifyd automates expiry tracking and re-verification reminders.

Certifyd pricing starts from £99/month. The calculator uses the higher of your monthly subscription or a per-check cost (£1.20 per check) to model the most accurate annual cost for your volume. Contact us for a custom quote based on your exact needs.
