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.
Your numbers
How long does the task take you without AI?
What is your time worth? Use your billing rate or what an additional hour of focused work is worth to you.
Be honest. Simple tasks might be 80%+ faster. Complex tasks with review might only be 20-30% faster.
What AI is worth to you
Based on 5 hrs/week × $100/hr × 50% AI speedup.
What finding 10 hours a month is worth
At your rate, 10 hours a month is about $- per year in labor capacity.
The assessment is free right now. If it does not find at least 10 hours a month, Stephen says so plainly. The roadmap is yours either way.
Identified hours are labor capacity, not automatic cash savings. What you do with the freed time is what decides the return.
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.
