Based on your own hourly rate and the reinvestment percentage.
Together ~60 hours per week — around 1.2 hours per FTE.
This is an indicative calculation based on your own assumptions — not a substantiated business case and not a guarantee. We deliberately show no licence or advisory costs. We build a real business case with a baseline and KPIs together in an advisory call. Calculation basis: 47 workable weeks per year (assumption).

These figures are reference and context. The calculator uses your own assumptions, not these numbers.
The nuance
A calculator estimates. A business case proves.
Read the result carefully
Indication, not a promise
What the calculation does say — and what it does not.
Your own assumptions
The result is only as strong as your input — pick realistic values.
No licence costs
We deliberately leave out our fees and Copilot pricing.
Time ≠ instant money
Value appears only when freed-up time becomes new output.
Adoption drives returns
Without usage and guidance, time saved stays on paper.
Next step
From estimate to baseline
An estimate is a good start. A credible business case is built on a baseline, chosen use cases and KPIs per department. We measure that as we go and adjust along the way.

FAQ
Veelgestelde vragen
Frequently asked questions about the Copilot ROI calculator.
How do I calculate the ROI of Microsoft Copilot?
Multiply your headcount by the estimated weekly time saved and the number of working weeks. Take the share you reinvest times your hourly rate. Our calculator does this live from your own figures.
What data do I need for the calculator?
Four values: headcount, average gross hourly rate, estimated time saved per person per week, and the share of time you reinvest in productive work. You enter everything yourself; we show no pricing.
Is the result a guarantee?
No. It is an indication based on your assumptions, not a promise. Real value depends on adoption, use cases and guidance. We build a substantiated business case with a baseline together in an advisory call.
Are Copilot licence costs in the calculation?
No. The calculator deliberately uses only your own time saved and hourly rate. We leave out licence and advisory costs here; we discuss those transparently in a personal advisory call via the contact page.
How does this differ from a real business case?
This calculator gives a quick indication. A business case rests on a baseline, chosen use cases and KPIs per department that we measure and adjust. The calculator is your starting point, the business case your proof.
From indication to business case
In a working session we turn your figures into a substantiated business case with a baseline and KPIs — costs and benefits side by side.
