AI Automation ROI Calculator

OMEGPLAY TOOL

Estimate the financial impact of automating a recurring business task by considering labor savings, human review, rework, software costs, implementation and maintenance.

Current task

Start with the time and labor currently required.

Hours spent each week Average weekly time spent on this task.

People involved People who regularly perform the task.

Labor cost per hour Approximate hourly labor cost.

Working weeks per year Use fewer weeks for seasonal work.

Automation assumptions

Estimate what the automation can realistically handle.

Percentage of work automation can handle Do not assume that automation eliminates all human work.

0% 60% 100%

Human review minutes per automated task Average time needed to check automated output.

Estimated rework rate Percentage of automated work needing correction.

Automation costs

Include recurring and first-year implementation costs.

AI/software cost per month Subscriptions, APIs and automation platforms.

One-time implementation cost Setup, integration or development.

Maintenance hours per month Time spent monitoring or fixing the workflow.

Maintenance labor cost per hour Cost of the person maintaining the workflow.

This calculator provides an estimate based on the assumptions you enter. Actual savings can vary depending on workflow volume, software pricing, review requirements, errors and labor costs.

A high theoretical automation percentage does not automatically mean an equally high financial return. Human review, maintenance, corrections and software costs can reduce the actual benefit.
