Calculate the ROI of AI tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and more
Apply team role benchmarks to see if your subscription cost is justified by...
This calculator estimates ROI from the AI tool cost you enter versus the dollar value of time saved (hours saved per week × hourly rate × team size, annualized). ROI % = (Yearly value of time saved − Yearly tool cost) / Yearly tool cost × 100.
Enter whatever you actually pay: a flat subscription fee (e.g., ChatGPT Plus at $20/month), or a usage-based API bill. If you are billed per API call rather than a flat subscription, use the LLM Token Cost, Image Gen Cost, or Speech Cost calculator first to estimate your monthly API spend, then enter that total here as the AI cost.
Estimate the number of hours saved per week per team member, multiplied by their effective hourly rate. For example, a $100k/year employee (roughly $50/hour) saving 2 hours/week = $100/week in productivity value. Select a role benchmark in this calculator to get a data-backed estimate without guessing.
