Calculation Methodology
How we calculate the return on investment for AI implementations.
Time Savings
We calculate time savings by multiplying the number of employees by the hours saved per week per employee, adjusted to the selected timeframe. This assumes consistent time savings across all impacted employees.
Labor Cost Savings
Labor cost savings are calculated by multiplying the total time saved by the average hourly rate. This represents the monetary value of time that can be redirected to other productive activities.
Total Costs
Total costs include both one-time implementation costs and ongoing monthly costs over the selected timeframe. Implementation costs include development, integration, training, and change management. Ongoing costs include licensing, maintenance, and support.
ROI Calculation
ROI is calculated as:
Where Net Benefit is Labor Cost Savings minus Total Costs.
Limitations
This calculator provides a simplified ROI estimation based on time savings. Actual results may vary based on implementation quality, adoption rates, and other factors. Consider these additional value factors that aren't captured:
- Improved quality and reduced errors
- Enhanced customer satisfaction
- New revenue opportunities
- Competitive advantages
- Employee satisfaction improvements
