What is AI upskilling of your organisation worth?
This calculator helps you work out whether training your organisation to use AI pays back, using your own numbers and your own assumptions. It gives you a business case you can take to your CFO, your CEO or your board.
Who it is for
Finance leaders and owners who are asked "should the company do something with AI?" and want to answer with a number and the assumptions behind it, not a feeling.
What you put in
Number of employees, average salary, time saved per week, programme cost, internal cost and delay before the effect starts.
What you get out
Payback time, net value, return on investment, net present value, internal rate of return and break-even, with a cash flow chart and a monthly table.
See an example
Illustrative example, not a result from a client. A company with 50 employees saves 2 hours per person per week, spends 24 hours of paid time per person on training, and sees the benefit start after 1 month. The calculator returns payback in 4.8 months, an ROI of 261 % over 12 months, and a break-even of 33 minutes saved per person per week. The salary and time inputs are placeholders you replace with your own figures.

Why I built it
I built it after seeing that investing in upskilling an organisation can look expensive at first. The business case turns out very positive if each employee saves between 0.5 and 2 hours a week, which I think is more than realistic.
