Controlled AI workflows for recurring administrative work

What does AI automation deliver after review and costs?

Enter the core numbers and you see capacity, recurring costs and uncertainty. Then refine with rework, software and maintenance. Your input, not a result of Tamboer AI.

The short answer

The calculator works out the net process value: what a process costs you in time today, what remains after implementation and when the investment pays back. You enter volume, time per case, hourly value and investment. Free, no account, everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored.

All calculations stay local in your browser. No process name, volume, minutes, rate, costs or email text ends up in analytics.

Reliability: insufficient basis

Measure first

Are your numbers mostly estimated?

Then create a baseline first. The field names match this calculator.

Create a baseline

Worked example: time released is not yet cash saved

This is a synthetic calculation scenario, not a client result. Assume 100 cases per week, 46 working weeks, 10 minutes per case now and 3 minutes of human review afterwards. That releases roughly 537 hours of capacity a year. At an entered hourly value of 40 euros, this represents 21,467 euros of capacity value.

For this scenario, enter 100 euros of software costs per month, 2 maintenance hours per month, 10 internal setup hours and 4,500 euros of external investment. With no change in rework and no separate audit fee, the calculator returns 14,407 euros of net process value in year one. These are scenario inputs, not a quote. If review takes 6 minutes instead of 3, the result falls to 5,207 euros. Change the fields above to explore your own situation.

Which figures do you need?

Count cases per week and active minutes per ordinary case. Measure rework separately. Time after implementation includes human review and remaining manual work. Label estimates as estimates: an unknown cost is not the same as zero. The tool cannot determine missing costs for you.

Released capacity only becomes financial savings when you demonstrably avoid costs or put that time to another use. Quality and risk are not given a monetary value. If uncertain, start with a process baseline. See AI implementation costs for the offer, inclusions and exclusions.

How do you compare total costs?

Compare the one-off implementation price alongside recurring software and maintenance costs and the time your team needs for review. Include internal setup hours too. This lets you compare proposals for the same scope without treating released capacity as immediate cash savings.

Use the calculator above with your own volume and review time. You can also see how a longer review changes the result. Need temporary support across several teams? AI consultancy and contracting has its own scope and a price on request.
