AI ROI Calculator
Pick your industry, set three numbers, check the workflows you would automate. The same model we use in engagements — benchmark ranges, no rounding for optimism. Run it free; add your email to save a shareable link or get the estimate in your inbox.
Non-billable admin is the margin leak — recovered hours convert directly to utilization.

Benchmark range for professional services: 6–12 hrs
Conservative haircuts every benchmark by 25%. Ambitious takes published ranges at face value — never above.

At these numbers, an AI Audit (CA$10,250) pays back in roughly 2–3 weeks.
These are benchmark-derived ranges, not measured client results. Your actual numbers depend on workflow complexity, data quality, and how fast your team adopts.
How this is calculated
Weekly admin pool = team size × admin hours per person. Each checked workflow claims its benchmark share of that pool, and we apply its published automation range to those hours.
Conservative mode multiplies every range by 0.75; ambitious uses benchmarks as published. No workflow is ever modeled past 85% automation. Dollar value = hours × your loaded hourly cost, annualized over 48 working weeks, not 52.
Payback divides the assessment fee by your weekly savings range. Both are shown in CAD — the fee is converted from its US$7,500 list price at an approximate ~1.37 rate, so treat payback as directional framing, not an invoice.

After the estimate
Turn a range into a decision
A number without a plan is noise. Here is how teams move from estimate to running AI on one real workflow.
Why a range, not a single number?
Real AI projects carry adoption risk, vendor risk, and workflow complexity that a single point estimate hides. Benchmark-derived bands give you a conservative floor your CFO can defend, and a ceiling to anchor the upside case.
Every workflow percentage traces to published industry benchmarks for that automation pattern — and conservative mode haircuts all of them by 25% before a single dollar is counted.
Results are estimates, not guarantees. Actual savings depend on workflow complexity, team adoption rate, and the quality of the tools you choose. No engagement or dollar amount is guaranteed by use of this calculator.
