About This Estimator

The time savings value is calculated using the formula[1]:

Annual Savings = Hours Saved/Week × Users × Hourly Cost × 52 weeks

ROI is calculated using the standard return on investment formula[2]:

ROI = (Total Gains − AI Cost) ÷ AI Cost × 100

A positive ROI indicates your AI investment generates more value than it costs. The payback period shows how many months until the cumulative benefits equal your investment. Tailor these inputs to your organization's specific data and consult with stakeholders for accurate estimates.
