How we calculate this

Weekly hours saved = sum of (task hours per week x AI time reduction percentage) across all tasks, multiplied by your employee count. Annual figures use 48 working weeks. Time value uses your fully loaded hourly cost. Tool cost annualises your monthly input, multiplied by employee count if per-user pricing applies. Net ROI is value of time saved minus annual tool cost. Break-even is months until time savings cover the tool cost. These are estimates based on your inputs. Actual savings depend on adoption rate, task complexity, and how consistently staff use the tools.
