How this calculator works
The calculator estimates monthly value as saved hours per week multiplied by 4.33 weeks and your hourly value, plus any additional monthly revenue. Net gain subtracts the subscription cost, and ROI compares net gain against cost.
Useful scenarios
- A freelancer deciding whether a paid AI writing or coding tool is worth the monthly fee.
- A creator estimating whether AI editing tools save enough production time.
- A small team comparing multiple AI subscriptions before renewing them.
FAQ
Should I include non-financial benefits?
Use the output as the financial baseline, then separately consider quality, speed, consistency, and creative range.
What hourly value should I use?
Use your billable rate if the saved time can become paid work. Use a lower internal value if the time only reduces admin effort.
