Net monthly gain (team)
ROI multiple
ROI %
Payback point
Value saved / dev / month
How this is calculated
- Value saved per developer/month = hours saved/week × 4.33 weeks × hourly rate
- Value saved for the team/month = value saved per developer × team size
- Subscription cost for the team/month = cost per seat × team size
- Net monthly gain = value saved for the team − subscription cost for the team
How it works
The calculator runs live as you type
Value saved per developer per month = hours saved/week × 4.33 weeks × hourly rate, scaled up to the whole team and compared against total subscription cost.
Read the ROI multiple, percent, and payback point
See net monthly gain for the team, the ROI multiple (value generated per $1 spent), ROI percent, and roughly which day of the month the subscription pays for itself.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the "hours saved per week" number come from?
It's your own estimate — a reasonable starting point is to track a few weeks of actual usage, or use a conservative estimate from published productivity studies, then adjust it based on your team's experience.
What if hours saved varies a lot between developers?
Use a team average, or run the calculator per role/seniority band separately and sum the net monthly gains — the formula is linear so this works cleanly.
Does this account for onboarding/ramp-up time?
No — it assumes the "hours saved per week" figure you enter already reflects steady-state usage. For a new rollout, consider entering a lower figure for the first month or two.
Is a "hours saved" self-report accurate enough for a real budget decision?
It's a reasonable starting estimate, not a certified measurement — pair it with the AI Coding Time Savings Tracker or actual usage logs for a more grounded number before committing to a large team-wide budget.
