This AI automation ROI calculator turns one repetitive task into real numbers. Enter how many hours a week it takes, who does it, what an hour of their time costs, and how much of it a machine could run. It is plain multiplication of your own numbers, not a promise.

## Pick one task.

The one your team complains about most. Move the sliders, the result updates as you go.

One task, not the whole week.

Dollars a month

Dollars a year

Hours a year
:   624

Hours a week × people × the machine’s share gives hours back a week. A year is 52 weeks, and a month is a twelfth of that. Dollars are those hours times your hourly cost. Not a promise of savings, and it does not count setup time or the review your team still does.
