Illustrative estimates only. The figures produced by this calculator are illustrative estimates based on generalised UK mid-market benchmark data and should not be construed as financial advice, a formal quotation, a guarantee, or a representation of any specific outcome. They are provided for indicative purposes only to help businesses understand the general scale of potential gains from AI-assisted process improvement.
Assumptions and limitations. The default fully-loaded annual cost of £65,000 per person (equivalent to approximately £32/hr) is a generalised UK mid-market estimate and may not reflect your organisation's actual cost structure. Hours per week, AI reduction percentages, and default staff ratios are derived from aggregated benchmark data and will vary significantly between organisations. No representation is made that these benchmarks are universally applicable.
Factors affecting actual outcomes. Actual gains depend on many factors including: the complexity of your existing processes, data quality, technology infrastructure, employee adoption, regulatory obligations, and the specific AI tools deployed. Results achieved by other businesses are not indicative of results achievable in your specific circumstances.
