How We Calculate AI ROI

1

Time Savings

We calculate total hours saved by multiplying employees × hours/week × 52 weeks × automation percentage.

2

Cost Savings

Time savings are converted to dollars using your average hourly rate (annual salary ÷ 2,080 work hours).

3

ROI Calculation

3-year ROI = (Total Savings - Implementation Cost) ÷ Implementation Cost × 100.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this AI ROI calculator?

This calculator provides estimates based on industry averages and the inputs you provide. Actual ROI depends on many factors including implementation quality, team adoption, and process complexity. We recommend using this as a starting point for discussion, then getting a detailed analysis for your specific situation.

What's a good ROI for an AI project?

A healthy AI project should target 150-300% ROI over 3 years, with payback within 12-18 months. Projects with ROI below 100% over 3 years are typically not worth pursuing unless there are strategic benefits beyond cost savings.

What costs are included in AI implementation?

Implementation costs typically include: discovery and strategy (10-15%), development and testing (50-60%), integration (15-20%), training and change management (10-15%), and ongoing maintenance (typically 15-20% of initial cost annually).

How do I identify which processes to automate?

Look for processes that are: high-volume (done frequently), rule-based (clear logic), time-consuming, error-prone, and done by multiple people. The best candidates combine high volume with high automateability and significant time investment.
