What does AI adoption actually pay back?
A CFO-friendly calculator. Put in your team size, average salary, and how much time your people spend on AI-augmentable work. Get a defensible estimate of annual value, payback period, and three-year impact.
Your inputs
The math, so you can defend it.
Working weeks per year
We assume 46 working weeks. That accounts for public holidays, vacation, and typical sick days across EU markets.
Hourly rate
We divide the fully-loaded salary by 1,840 working hours per year. Fully-loaded means salary plus employer taxes, benefits, and overhead.
Adoption rate
Not everyone uses new tools every week. The adoption rate scales down the productivity value so the estimate stays honest.
Three-year view
Year 2 and 3 assume the same value as Year 1. In practice, both cost per token and productivity uplift usually improve, so this is a conservative baseline.
