What matters for AI ROI

A realistic business case makes the difference. Keep these points in mind:

Realistic time saving

Tasks are rarely 100% automated. Account for review and rework effort.

Setup costs

Setup, integration and training belong in the calculation – not just tool costs.

Quality & risk

Does AI save time but lower quality? Factor in oversight and possible error costs.

Scale effect

The more often a task recurs, the faster the automation pays for itself.

Frequently asked questions

How is the ROI calculated?

The saved working time (people × hours × time saved) and the hourly rate give the euro saving. Ongoing and one-time costs are subtracted; the ROI relates the net benefit to the costs in the first year.

What time saving is realistic?

It depends heavily on the task. For clearly structured, recurring activities 40–70% is common; full automation is rare. When in doubt, calculate conservatively.

Are my inputs stored?

No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser. Your input never leaves your device and is never stored.

Is the result binding?

No, it's an orientation. A solid business case accounts for your specific processes – we're happy to help with that.
