Your automation business case.
Use the AI automation ROI calculator to compare the time your team spends today with an AI-supported workflow. See the capacity you could recover, the full project cost, and what it would take to break even.
Choose the closest match. Time reduction is calculated using an illustrative model that includes manual work and review.
Only count time spent on the selected workload.
Include wages, employer contributions and benefits.

Using the AI automation ROI calculator
The AI automation ROI calculator is a planning tool. Start with a representative workload, then account for review time, setup and recurring costs. For example, recovered hours may let the team serve more customers, while cash savings require an expense to be avoided.
For the broader task of evaluating AI systems, see the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Use observed workflow records to check your estimate after rollout.
A useful estimate starts with a real process: time spent, review steps, and exceptions. An AI process audit helps replace these planning assumptions with evidence from your business before automation implementation. Recovered time creates capacity; cash savings require an actual expense to be avoided.
