AI & workflow automation ROI calculator
Estimate the time and labor value a bounded automation might return. Enter the team size, time spent on a recurring workflow, labor cost, and your expected reduction; adjust assumptions before making a decision.
How the estimate is calculated
The calculator multiplies people involved by weekly hours and 4.33 weeks per month, then applies the percentage of time you think automation could reduce. Estimated labor value is the returned hours multiplied by your hourly cost.
- Potential hours returned = people × hours per week × 4.33 × reduction rate
- Illustrative monthly labor value = potential hours × hourly labor cost
- Annual value is a simple monthly estimate multiplied by twelve
Treat ROI as a hypothesis to test
The estimate does not include implementation, integration, hosting, support, exception handling, quality checks, or change-management costs. A pilot should measure actual time saved and error rates while protecting customer data and retaining human review where needed.
- Start with a repeatable, bounded process
- Include exception handling and ongoing operating costs
- Compare measured results with the initial assumptions
Common questions
- Is the calculator a guaranteed savings forecast?
- No. It is a scenario estimate based on values you enter. Actual benefits and costs depend on the process, implementation, adoption, and quality controls.
- Are my numbers saved or sent to SASTRAVA?
- No. The calculation runs locally in your browser and does not send your inputs to SASTRAVA.
