This models time value only โ€” saved hours count when they turn into more output, more clients, or fewer hires. Run a 2-week trial with your real tasks and replace the estimates with your measured hours.

Where the Hours Actually Come From

The biggest, most reliable AI time savings are unglamorous: first drafts of emails and documents, meeting summaries, data cleanup, research briefs, customer-support replies and code boilerplate. Teams that assign AI to these repeatable tasks first typically bank 3โ€“8 hours per person per week โ€” which is exactly the math this calculator runs. Speculative uses ("AI will run the whole department") are not in this model, on purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours does AI really save per week?

Measured studies and team reports commonly land at 3โ€“8 hours per person per week on drafting, summarizing, research and support tasks. Start with 3 in this calculator for a conservative figure.

How do I calculate AI ROI?

ROI = (money value of saved time โˆ’ tool costs) รท tool costs. If AI saves $3,000 of time for $100 of subscriptions, that is a 2,900% ROI โ€” which is why even modest time savings pay off.

When does AI NOT save money?

When saved hours are not redirected to useful work, or when reviewing AI output takes as long as doing the task. Pilot on your most repetitive tasks and measure before scaling.
