Capacity is time valued at your loaded cost. It is not cash savings or new revenue. Simple payback assumes stable monthly performance.
Include review before counting the benefit
Measure the original task and the new workflow on a comparable sample. Include corrections, escalations and human review. Apply the expected adoption rate to the task volume rather than assuming every task changes immediately.
Monthly net capacity value = hours released × loaded hourly cost − monthly operating cost
First-year net value = 12 × monthly net value − setup cost
When does payback disappear?
If net monthly value is zero or negative, there is no break-even under those assumptions. If setup and running costs are both zero, percentage ROI is undefined. The calculator reports those states explicitly.
Turn the scenario into evidence
Start with a small workload, record accepted output, error handling, time and bills, then replace the example inputs with observed values. Keep a conservative scenario alongside the expected one.
