ROI CALCULATOR

Calculate Your AI ROI

Two sides of one equation: what you invest in AI today, and the value your product team recovers once AI is properly adopted.
Currency
Team size
Scenario
01

Current AI Investment

What AI costs your team today: licenses, infrastructure and training.

Everyone with a paid AI seat, whether they use it regularly or not.
Average monthly subscription per seat, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot.
Usage-based AI and infrastructure costs on top of subscriptions.
Time each AI user spends in training over one year.
Systematic use in real workflows, not occasional experiments.
Advanced assumption
Fully loaded hourly cost of participants plus the training itself.

Product Team Potential

The value your product team could recover with well-adopted AI.

Product, delivery and engineering people in scope.
Salary, benefits, employer taxes and overhead per team member, per year.
Share of total work recoverable from specs, research, synthesis and other repetitive tasks.
Efficiency gain on discovery time that is not already automated.
Reduction in wasted effort thanks to better data and decisions.
Advanced assumptions
Share of team time spent learning what to build.
Share of current effort spent on features that do not move outcomes.

Your Target and the Program

Model the change, not just the snapshot.

The systematic adoption you want to reach. It cannot be lower than today’s.
Adoption grows linearly over this period, then stays at the target.
One-off budget for coaching, workshops and setup. Use your own estimate; it is not a Keenfunnel quote.

Use your own figure or a quote. Set it to 0 to compare adoption levels only.

What This Means for Your Team

  • Most of your AI budget is not turning into value yet: about €27,300 a year goes to tools that are not used systematically.
How we calculate this
  • Investment. Licenses = AI users × monthly license × 12. Infrastructure = monthly API spend × 12. Training = AI users × annual training hours × hourly cost.
  • Waste from low adoption. Total invested × (1 − current adoption).
  • Team cost. Product team size × fully loaded annual cost per person.
  • Repetitive work. Team cost × share of work AI can absorb.
  • Discovery. Team cost × discovery share × speed-up × (1 − automatable share), so automated work is never counted twice.
  • Feature waste. Team cost × wasted-effort share × waste reduction × (1 − automatable share).
  • Full potential. The sum of the three drivers × scenario factor (0.6 conservative, 1.0 expected, 1.25 optimistic), capped at 70% of team cost. If capped, each driver is scaled down proportionally.
  • Value and ROI. Value today and at target = full potential × the adoption level. ROI = annual recovered value ÷ annual AI investment. It is a value-to-cost multiple, not a profit percentage.
  • Capacity. Based on a 40-hour week. Hours per person = full potential ÷ team cost × 40 × adoption. FTE = recovered value ÷ annual cost per person.
  • Adoption ramp. Adoption grows linearly from today to the target over the months you choose, then stays at the target.
  • Payback. The first of 36 months when the extra value, compared with staying at today’s adoption, covers the enablement investment. A zero investment pays back immediately.
  • 3-year net gain. The sum of 36 months of extra value minus the enablement investment. Both chart lines subtract running costs.

This is an indicative estimate, not a quote, forecast or guarantee. Recovered capacity is not automatically a cash saving. Validate the assumptions against your own baseline.

DIAGNOSIS

Tools Without a System

Most product teams already have good AI tools. What’s missing is a system: where to apply AI, how to validate it, and how to turn individual wins into team habits.
003
SELF-CHECK

Sound Familiar?

Spot the signals, then the causes behind them. Every one of them has a fix.
SIGNALS
CAUSES
AI lives in individual tools
STALLED
You know the team should use AI more, but nobody has found how.
A few experiments ran, yet nothing changed how the team works.
Some people use AI all day; others never touch it.
AI is everywhere, but the product isn’t improving or shipping faster.
Nobody can say what the AI budget actually returns.

SEE YOUR ROI

AI runs as a team system
SCALING
AI use cases are chosen by their impact on team objectives.
Research and validation move faster, so the team builds the right things.
Practices spread from power users to the whole team.
Every initiative ships with a defined impact metric.
AI spend is tied to measurable value, reported in real time.

Why AI stalls
CAUSE
No clear direction: AI goes wherever someone feels like it, not where objectives move.
Teams build before they understand the problem, so AI speeds up the wrong work.
Delivery doesn’t close the loop, so nobody knows what to repeat or stop.
Adoption stays individual and never becomes a team habit.
Nobody helps new habits survive deadlines and old routines.

SEE YOUR ROI

What a system changes
FIX
Shared OKRs decide where AI goes first, and in what order.
Discovery comes first, so AI accelerates the right work.
Impact metrics close the loop after every launch.
Individual shortcuts become shared rituals across the team.
Coaching keeps the new way of working in place.
