"It feels more efficient" isn't a number. Calculate your actual AI savings in 2 minutes.
Most business owners can't answer "What's your AI ROI?" This calculator changes that.
What's your time worth? (Use your billing rate or opportunity cost)
What do you spend on AI tools monthly? (ChatGPT Plus = $20, Claude Pro = $20, etc.)
Estimate hours AI saves you each week per category. Be conservative.
Drafting, replying, summarizing emails
Blog posts, social media, proposals
Market research, competitor analysis, data review
SOPs, meeting notes, process documentation
FAQ responses, customer inquiries, scripts
Brainstorming, planning, decision support

I've talked to hundreds of business owners about AI. Want to know the most common answer when I ask "What's your AI ROI?"
"Well, it feels like we're saving time..."
That's not ROI. That's hope.
This calculator gives you real numbers. Use it monthly. Track your progress. Stop guessing.
