Estimate how much value an AI workflow creates compared with its monthly cost. This is intentionally simple and should be used for rough decision support, not pretend precision.
How to read the result
A positive number does not automatically mean the workflow is good. It only means the idea may deserve a deeper look. If the margin is thin, small review costs or setup drag can erase it fast.
What this calculator misses
- time spent checking bad output
- setup and maintenance time
- hidden costs from tool overlap or low adoption
- downstream mistakes caused by weak automation
