AI ROI Calculator
Enter your numbers. Get an instant estimate of what AI implementation could save your business.
How much can AI implementation save your business?
The average Code and Trust AI implementation reduces labor costs on automated processes by 40–70%. A 10-person team spending 20 hours/week on manual data entry — at $65K average salary — spends roughly $325,000/year on that single process. Implementing AI typically costs $35K–$80K and pays back in under 12 months for most mid-market businesses.

Are these estimates accurate?
The calculator produces rough estimates based on industry averages. Actual savings vary significantly by process complexity, error rates, and how AI replaces vs. augments human work. An AI audit gives you specific numbers for your situation.
What does AI implementation actually cost?
Fixed-price engagements typically run $35K–$120K depending on process complexity and number of systems being integrated. The calculator uses industry average costs.
What if my savings estimate seems too high?
It might be. The calculator assumes successful implementation — which requires the right process selection, good data, and team buy-in. We'll tell you honestly if your use case is a poor fit for AI before we build anything.
