AI Time-Back Calculator
Enter the hours you spend each week on repeat work, the share you think AI could take on for each, and the value of one hour of your time. This calculator runs entirely in your browser, uses only your inputs, and stores nothing. Your result is based on your own estimates.
You already know you are buried in repeat work - the question is how much of your week it actually eats. Those hours come out of evenings, weekends, and the work only you can do. Until you put a number on them, they stay invisible.
Type in a typical week. Nothing is preset and nothing is assumed - the share AI could take is yours to set on every row, and the result is labelled 'based on your estimates'.
All numbers below are based on the hours, shares, and hourly value you entered.

Common questions
Is this a promise of results?
No. The result is a simple arithmetic estimate built only from the numbers you enter. It is designed to help you picture what time could be handed back if a share of your repeat work were automated. Actual time back depends on the task, the tool, and how it is implemented.
Where do the numbers come from?
From you. This calculator uses no preset statistics and no default percentages. Every value in the result comes from the hours, shares, and hourly value you enter.
Does this calculator send or store my data?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is saved or tracked.
What should I do with the estimate?
Use it as a starting point for a conversation about where AI could fit in your business. A small figure points to a guided first session. One large area of repeat work points to a done-for-you AI agent. A large total points to a strategy call.
