How much is AI actually worth to you?

Most people guess. This calculator gives you a number. Plug in what you actually do, what you charge, and how much faster AI makes it.

What this calculator assumes

  • AI reduces your time on task by the efficiency percentage you select. A 50% efficiency gain means a 1-hour task takes 30 minutes with AI.
  • You are doing the task regularly — the weekly and yearly figures are projections, not guarantees.
  • Your hourly rate is a proxy for the value of your time. Use your actual billing rate if you bill hourly.
  • Time saved is counted as productive time recovered — it assumes you use that time productively.
