AI ROI & Time Buy-Back Calculator

Before you pay for any tool, see what it could actually be worth. Estimate the hours — and the money — an AI or automation tool could buy back for your team every month.

Your situation

What it's worth

hours bought back / month
Money saved / month
Money saved / year
That's like

This is an honest estimate, not a promise — your real return depends on the tool, your workflow and how well you implement it. We deliberately let you set the automation rate yourself rather than assume it. Adjust the sliders to match your reality.

How to read your AI ROI

The math is simple and on purpose: hours your team spends on a repetitive task × the share a tool can realistically automate gives you the time bought back, and multiplying by your hourly cost turns that into euros. The point isn't a precise figure — it's to see whether a tool's monthly price is dwarfed by the time it frees up. For most lean teams, if a tool buys back even a few hours a week, it pays for itself many times over.
