AI agent ROI calculator

Estimate what an AI agent (receptionist, support, intake, IT help desk) would save per month. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.

Tasks handled per month

Minutes of staff time per task today

Loaded staff cost per hour ($)

Share of tasks the agent fully resolves (%)

Agent cost per month ($: software + usage)

One-time setup cost ($)

Missed after-hours leads per month the agent could catch

Value of one lead ($, avg job profit × close rate)

How it works: monthly savings = tasks × resolve rate × minutes ÷ 60 × hourly cost, plus recovered leads × lead value, minus agent cost. Payback = setup cost ÷ net monthly savings. These are your assumptions, not guarantees. Real-world resolve rates vary. For example, ShipStation reported its Slack IT agent answered 94% of after-hours questions (see the use-case catalog for sources).
