ROI calculator

What automating one task is actually worth.

Three scenarios instead of one inflated number, and the inputs other calculators leave out. Change anything; everything recalculates.

$

Salary + benefits ÷ working hours.

%

Capped at 95. No system automates 100%. Edge cases still need humans, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

%

The input other calculators hide: what share of your team will actually use it.

$
$

AI model and hosting fees.

Advanced

Mistakes the task produces today that the system would catch.

$
%

Of build cost, per year. Systems need updates. Budget for it or the ROI is fiction.

Hours saved only become money if that time goes into revenue-producing work. Otherwise it's capacity: still valuable, but different. We'll be straight with you about which one you're buying.
