AI Automation ROI Calculator for Indian Businesses
Stop guessing whether AI automation is worth it. Use this framework to estimate your savings, revenue uplift, and payback period — based on real deployment data from 200+ Indian businesses.
Step 1: Calculate Your Current Cost of Manual Work
For each task you want to automate, calculate:
👤
Staff Cost
Hours per month × (monthly salary ÷ 160 hours)
Example: 40 hrs/month × ₹125/hr = ₹5,000/month
❌
Error Cost
Errors per month × average cost per error
Example: 5 errors × ₹2,000 lost = ₹10,000/month
💸
Opportunity Cost
Leads lost to slow response × average deal value
Example: 10 lost leads × ₹15,000 avg = ₹1.5L/month
Step 2: Estimate AI Automation Cost
