AI Productivity Opportunity Calculator
What could better workflows make possible?
Explore the scale of repetitive work in your team and an illustrative productivity opportunity using your own assumptions.
Your illustrative opportunity
150
potential hours available per week
$195,000
annual equivalent value of that time
This represents time capacity at your assumed hourly cost. It is not revenue, cash savings, profit or a net ROI calculation.
How is this estimate calculated?
Weekly hours = employees × weekly work hours × repetitive-work percentage × assumed time reduction.
Annual equivalent value = weekly hours × hourly employee cost × 52.
The estimate excludes tool costs, training, implementation, human review, holidays and adoption differences. Reducing task time does not automatically reduce payroll or increase revenue.
This is an illustrative estimate and does not represent a guaranteed business outcome.
From assumption to evidence
How should you use a productivity estimate in a business case?
Treat the estimate as a scenario to investigate. Replace the default time-reduction assumption with evidence from a small pilot, including the time spent checking and correcting AI output. Consider how recovered capacity would actually be used before assigning it a financial value.
A fuller business case should include subscriptions, implementation, training, review, support and maintenance. It should also record error costs and work that cannot be automated. The calculator intentionally does not combine those elements into a claimed net return.
