Calculate the ROI of an AI project.
The ROI calculator estimates how quickly an AI project pays for itself. It is based on four inputs: weekly manual hours, cost rate per hour, a realistic automation rate, and one-off implementation cost. The result shows estimated annual savings and payback period in months, as our own model - not a market study and not a guarantee.
Frees up approximately 480 hours/year of repetitive manual labor across team workflows.
01 What the calculator shows
Before deciding on an AI project, most companies face the same question: does the effort pay off, and if so, over what period? The calculator translates four simple inputs about your current effort into an estimate of annual savings and payback period, giving you a first orientation before you invest in an assessment.
02 The four inputs
| Input | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Weekly manual hours | Time the affected process currently takes up per week |
| Cost rate per hour | Internal or external cost rate for that working time |
| Realistic automation rate | Share of the process an AI agent could likely take over, estimated by you |
| One-off implementation cost | Expected cost for assessment and pilot |
You enter the automation rate yourself, because it depends heavily on the specific process. We recommend a cautious figure - the result is only as reliable as this input.
03 How the result is calculated
From weekly hours, cost rate and automation rate, the calculator computes an estimated annual saving. Set against the one-off implementation cost, this produces the payback period in months - the point at which savings exceed the initial investment. Both figures are estimates from our own model, not a verified market study and not a guarantee of actual savings.
04 How this differs from the cost-comparison calculator
This calculator and the cost-comparison calculator answer different questions. The cost-comparison calculator settles the operating-cost question: run the infrastructure yourself, or bill per token. The ROI calculator settles the business-case question: does the project pay off at all, and how fast? For a complete picture, it's worth looking at both results.
05 Limits of the estimate
The calculator assumes a constant automation rate and stable process costs. Changes to the process, staffing or systems landscape during the term are not reflected. For a reliable business case for your specific project, the assessment is the next step.
