AI ROI Calculator

The AI ROI Calculator is a free, interactive tool that turns your assumptions about an AI investment into a 3-year financial picture: total cost, total benefit, net benefit, payback period in months, ROI percentage, and net present value.

Walk through three short steps — your use case, your costs, and your expected benefits — and the calculator returns a year-by-year breakdown with charts plus an AI-written interpretation that calls out the riskiest assumptions in your model and the biggest levers to improve your return. No spreadsheet required.

Built by Ben Kalkman from real client engagements where AI investments either pay back fast or quietly bleed money. Use it to pressure-test a pilot before you commit, or to make the business case for a project you already believe in.
