AI ROI calculator

See what AI would actually save you.

Enter the hours your team spends on one repetitive task each month. We use conservative defaults so the number you see is closer to a floor than a ceiling.

Add up the hours your team currently spends on one repetitive process — ticket triage, invoice matching, lead qualification, report generation. Use the real number, not the target.

$

Salary plus benefits, taxes, and overhead, divided by working hours. $35/hr is the mid-market default for ops and customer support staff. Use your real number if you know it.

%

What percentage of cases will AI close without human review. We default to 65% because the remaining 35% — the edge cases — is where humans still earn their pay. Push it higher only if your task is unusually clean.

Assumptions baked in.

  • AI handles 65% of cases by default. The remaining 35% still need a human, and we price that in.
  • Hourly cost is fully burdened — salary, benefits, taxes, and overhead — not just take-home pay.
  • Engagement floor is $15,000, which covers a single workflow built and rolled out in 14 days.
  • Numbers assume the task is genuinely repetitive. One-off or judgement-heavy work does not automate cleanly.

The honest disclaimer.

This is a projection, not a guarantee. The real number depends on how clean your data is, how the workflow is scoped, and how willing your team is to adopt the new process. We will not promise a savings figure we cannot control. What we will commit to: a working AI workflow live in 14 days, full code ownership in your accounts, and a senior engineer accountable for the result. We do our part. The savings show up when both sides do.

A 30-minute call is enough to pressure-test these defaults against your actual workflow and give you a defensible projection in writing.
