AI Automation ROI Calculator
Estimate the annual value of automating a manual process: labor hours saved plus error and rework avoided, then see ROI and payback. Your numbers stay in your browser.

How this is calculated
Two value streams, both driven entirely by your inputs. Nothing here is a promise or a benchmark.
With your annual solution cost, the calculator also shows simple ROI and payback:
ROI% = (total annual value − solution cost) ÷ solution cost × 100
Payback (months) = solution cost ÷ (total annual value ÷ 12)
What this deliberately leaves out
- Ramp time. Automation rarely hits full effect on day one. This is a steady-state annual estimate, not month one.
- Intangibles. Faster cycle times, better morale, audit readiness, and fewer customer escapes are real but not counted here.
- Your reductions are assumptions. The sliders are your expectations, not guarantees. Use ranges you can defend.
- One-time costs. Implementation, integration, and change management may sit outside the recurring solution cost you enter.
Automation ROI compounds when the same operational layer removes downtime and manual reporting too. Size the broader picture with the manufacturing ROI calculator and the downtime cost calculator, or read what a manufacturing operating system is.
See where automation pays off on your line
Harmony connects your machines, systems, and paperwork into one real-time operational layer, no rip-and-replace, so the manual hours and errors this calculator estimates become visible and automatable. Read the CLS case study.
