ROI calculator · free

What could AI agents be worth to you?

Pick your function, describe your processes with your own numbers, and get the value you could recover each year and the break-even point of a project.

  • Your numbers, not ours: the calculation only uses what you enter.
  • Guided by LOOP™: for each process, you see what an agent handles alone, what a person approves and what stays human.
  • Instant result, no sign-up.

What is an AI agent ROI calculator?

An AI agent ROI calculator estimates the value a team recovers when an agent takes over part of its work. Koneetiv’s calculator starts from your volumes, your team costs and the share of work you consider automatable, process by process, then works out the break-even point of a project.

How the calculation works

  1. Time spent today: the number of people multiplied by their weekly hours, converted into full-time equivalents using your working week.

  2. Current cost of the process: those full-time equivalents multiplied by your fully loaded annual cost.

  3. Recoverable value: that cost multiplied by the share of time you expect the agent to take on. The break-even point follows: over 12 months, a project pays for itself if it costs less than that value.

Why the LOOP™ zones guide the estimate

Not every step of a process can be handed to an agent in the same way. LOOP™, Koneetiv’s governance method, sorts them into three zones before anything goes live. It is also the most reliable way to estimate the time genuinely freed up.

Green zone

The agent acts alone, within set limits.

Orange zone

The agent prepares, a person approves.

Red zone

The decision stays human; the agent raises the alert.

What the calculation does not tell you

It knows nothing about your data quality, your integrations or your deployment time. It only counts time freed up, not quality gained or errors avoided. It is an order of magnitude to decide whether it is worth going further, not a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Does the calculator use market averages?

No. It only uses what you enter: volumes, time spent, team costs and the share of time you consider automatable. It suggests no default value for the gains, so the result stays yours.

How do I estimate the share of time an agent would take on?

Break the process down into steps. Green-zone steps, where the agent acts alone, free up most of their time; orange-zone steps free up part of it, since a person approves; the red zone stays human. The calculator shows these steps for each process.

What does the break-even point mean?

It is the maximum a project can cost, set-up and running costs included, and still pay for itself over the period. Over 12 months, it equals the annual recoverable value.

How is ROI calculated if I enter a budget?

ROI compares the net gain with the costs: value recovered minus costs, divided by costs, over 12 then 24 months. The payback period divides the set-up cost by the monthly gain after running costs.

Why work by business function?

Because processes, volumes and approval rules differ from one team to another. Each function lists the processes where a Claude agent is most often deployed.

What is a full-time equivalent?

The working time of one full-time person. Two people each spending half their time on a process add up to one full-time equivalent.

Is my data stored?

The calculation runs in your browser: nothing is sent to Koneetiv. To refine the result with your own numbers, you can book a call with an expert.

How is this different from the AI maturity assessment?

The assessment measures where your organisation stands across six dimensions, from strategy to governance. The calculator puts a value on specific processes. They work together: one tells you where to start, the other what it could be worth.
