AI ROI Calculator
Most AI business cases fail on arithmetic, not ambition. Enter the real shape of a process and see the hours it consumes, the value recovering them is worth, and how long the investment takes to pay back.

A deterministic model using only the numbers you enter. These are estimates, not a promise of results.
Get an assessmentHow the model works
The calculator is deterministic. It multiplies people by weekly hours across a 46-week working year, applies the share of work that can realistically be automated, values the recovered hours at your loaded cost, then subtracts implementation and run costs.
- Automatable share
- Rarely 100%. Exceptions, escalations and review keep people in the loop, which is why 40–60% is a more defensible planning assumption for document-heavy work.
- Run cost
- Model usage, integration maintenance and the human review layer. Omitting it is the single most common reason AI business cases overstate return.
- What it does not do
- It does not price revenue upside, risk reduction or quality gains. Those belong in a full business case, not a first-pass estimate.
