AI Automation ROI Calculator

To estimate what automating a task is worth, multiply the hours you would recover each week by your effective hourly rate. If a task runs ten times a week at thirty minutes each, and automation handles about 75 percent of it, you recover roughly 3.75 hours a week, which at $100 an hour comes to about $375 a week, or $19,500 a year.

Enter your own numbers below to see the hours and dollars recovered for any repeatable task, along with a twelve-month cumulative view you can export as a PDF. The result is a gross estimate of time value, so it does not subtract what implementation costs, and a realistic automation percentage matters more than an optimistic one. If you want help identifying which of your workflows are ready for automation, the Beehive Method™ starts with a baseline assessment that maps them before anything is built.
