Results — Is It Worth It?
Monthly value vs cost — each block = ~1 work day
Monthly Value = Hours Saved Per Month × Your Hourly Rate. This is the dollar equivalent of time your AI subscription returns to you.
Break-Even Minutes/Day = (Monthly Cost ÷ Seats ÷ Work Days ÷ Hourly Rate) × 60. The minimum daily time saving needed for the subscription to pay for itself at your rate.
Annual ROI = ((Annual Value − Annual Cost) ÷ Annual Cost) × 100. How much you receive back for every dollar spent on the subscription per year.
Usage Frequency is a multiplier applied to the expected value — if you only use AI weekly, you capture less of its potential value than someone using it every workday.
