Understanding the Mathematics
This calculator uses transparent, industry-standard formulas to estimate your ROI. Here's exactly how we calculate each metric:
1. Hourly Labor Rate
We calculate the true cost per hour by dividing annual salary by working hours:
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (52 weeks × 40 hours)2. Current Annual Costs
Your total cost includes both labor and errors:
Labor Cost = Hours/Week × 52 × Hourly Rate × EmployeesErrors/Year = (Hours/Week × 52 × Error Rate) ÷ 100Error Cost = Errors/Year × Average Cost Per ErrorTotal Current Cost = Labor Cost + Error Cost3. AI Implementation & Operating Costs
Based on typical enterprise AI automation projects:
Implementation Cost = € 25.000 (one-time)Monthly Operating Cost = € 3.000First Year AI Cost = € 25.000 + (€ 3.000 × 12)4. Post-AI Efficiency Gains
Conservative estimates based on deployed systems:
Labor Reduction = 80% (you retain 20% for oversight)Error Reduction = 95% (near-zero error rate)New Labor Cost = Original Labor Cost × 0.20New Error Cost = Original Error Cost × 0.055. Annual Savings & ROI
The bottom line impact on your business:
Annual Savings = Current Cost - (AI Cost + Reduced Labor + Reduced Errors)Payback Period = Implementation Cost ÷ (Annual Savings ÷ 12)3-Year ROI = ((3-Year Savings - Total Investment) ÷ Total Investment) × 100%Why These Numbers?
The 80% labor reduction and 95% error reduction are conservative estimates based on production deployments across trade compliance, lead qualification, and document processing systems. Actual results vary by workflow complexity and data quality. Implementation and operating costs reflect typical mid-market enterprise automation projects including development, infrastructure, monitoring, and ongoing optimization.
