Every dollar paid to RoundUp returns $7.20 in saved costs and recovered revenue. Multi-site chains and centers serving subsidies typically see higher ROI.

Methodology & sources

Violation costs: Oregon OCC public enforcement records (2024–2025) and ERDC reimbursement schedules from the Oregon Department of Human Services. Card reader rental: Square/Clover published merchant pricing. Admin labor: $30/hr — Oregon ECE director median per BLS occupation data. Revenue recovery: RoundUp customer baseline data; 30% aging reduction is conservative — observed range is 25–40%. Math: savings scale linearly from a fixed baseline ($2,280 = $1,800 violations + $480 hardware) plus $180/child/yr (admin + revenue + supplies). Multi-Site chains (2–49 locations): add the Multi-Site addon ($99/mo + $59/extra location). Enterprise (50+ locations): custom pricing with volume discounts, white-label app, 99.95% SLA, and zero per-integration fees — typical ROI is higher than single-site.
