AI automation can free up 30–70% of routine work — but only the numbers tell whether the investment pays off in your specific case. This free ROI calculator estimates annual savings, payback period, and three-year cumulative return based on your own figures. No signup — the answer appears on screen the moment you enter the process details.
Yes. The calculator is entirely free and requires no email or signup. You can run several calculations for different processes and compare their ROI side by side.
It fits repetitive routine processes where a human does rule-based work: purchase invoice coding, first-line customer service, content drafts, document search, contract checks, monthly report consolidation. For creative processes (brand strategy, complex negotiation preparation) the calculator overestimates automation coverage.
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser — we do not store hourly costs, expenses, or results on our servers. It is safe to use even when the figures are business secrets.
Typically 3–9 months for a repetitive back-office process. Longer 12–18 month periods usually appear in complex integrations or when automation covers only a small slice of the overall process. The calculator shows your numbers against median values.
Yes. The results page has a PDF download button that produces a report covering inputs, calculated savings, payback period, and three-year net return. The PDF is designed to be attached as the basis for an investment decision.
No. The calculator asks for simple business figures — hours, hourly costs, expenses. You do not need to know about LLMs, MCP protocols, or integrations. If you want a deeper technical estimate for your own process, we can walk through it on a free consultation call.
