Data entry time calculator
Enter how many rows you type into a web form, how many fields each row has and how often you do it. The calculator shows the time by hand and the time Izly needs to fill the same form from your table, plus the hours you get back each month.

By hand: 105 minutes a run. With Izly: about 13.3 minutes. That is 6.1 hours back every month.
Izly figures come from our practice form: about 7 rows a minute. Real sites can be slower when pages load or check what you typed. The free plan runs tables of up to 5 rows; Pro has no plan limit, up to 5,000 rows in one run.
How is it worked out?
- By hand: rows × (fields × seconds per field + 15 seconds) ÷ 60 minutes. The 15 seconds cover opening the form, sending it and checking it went through, once per row.
- With Izly: 8 seconds a row for rows of up to 8 fields; with more fields the time grows in proportion. That is the speed we measured on the practice form.
- Hours back: (by hand − Izly) × runs per month ÷ 60. The yearly figure is 12 times the monthly one.
- Recording the task once takes a few minutes and happens once; it is not counted.
Frequently asked questions
How is the time by hand worked out?
We multiply the fields in each row by the seconds you spend typing one field, then add 15 seconds a row for opening the form, sending it and checking it. The total is shown in minutes.
Why can Izly be slower on my site?
Izly waits for the page to be ready at every step. Sites that load slowly, check what you typed on their server or open a new page after every record take longer per row than our practice form.
Do I have to write formulas or code?
No. You do the task once in Chrome and Izly records the steps. Then you pick which table column fills each field and paste the table; Izly does the task once for every row.
Does my table leave my computer?
No. The table you paste stays in your browser and is not sent to our servers. The values only go into the web form you are filling, just as they would if you typed them.
