AI Automation Time Savings Calculator (hours & labour cost saved)

How it works

Minutes saved per week = tasks per week × (minutes today − minutes with AI). Hours per year = minutes per week ÷ 60 × working weeks. Labour value = hours × loaded hourly cost. Count the time people spend checking and correcting the AI output in “minutes with AI”, otherwise the saving is overstated.

FAQ

How do I measure minutes per task?

Time 10–20 real cases before and after using AI, including review and corrections, and use the average. Estimates from memory are usually too optimistic.

Is the labour value real money?

Only if the freed time is used for other valuable work or reduces overtime, temporary staff or hiring. Otherwise it is capacity, not cash.

Checked 10 Nov 2026. Time-and-motion arithmetic: saved minutes per task × frequency, valued at the loaded labour cost. Measure the minutes on a sample of real tasks before and after.
