Sales ROI Calculator

Calculate return on investment for any business initiative — software purchases, hiring, marketing spend, automation projects, or tool adoption.

What It Does

Takes inputs (cost, timeline, expected gains) and produces a clean ROI analysis with:

  • Net ROI percentage
  • Payback period
  • Monthly/annual savings projection
  • Break-even point
  • Risk-adjusted returns (conservative, moderate, aggressive scenarios)

How to Use

When the user asks to evaluate an investment or calculate ROI:

  1. Gather inputs (ask if not provided):

    • Investment cost — one-time + recurring (monthly/annual)
    • Expected benefit — revenue increase, cost savings, or time saved
    • Timeline — evaluation period (default: 12 months)
    • Hourly rate — for time-savings conversions (default: $75/hr)

  2. Calculate:

    Total Cost = One-time + (Monthly recurring × Months)
Total Benefit = (Monthly savings × Months) + Revenue gains
Net Gain = Total Benefit - Total Cost
ROI % = (Net Gain / Total Cost) × 100
Payback Period = Total Cost / Monthly Benefit

  3. Present three scenarios:

    • Conservative (60% of expected benefit)
    • Moderate (100% of expected benefit)
    • Aggressive (140% of expected benefit)

  4. Output format:

    📊 ROI Analysis: [Project Name]
────────────────────────────
Investment:     $X,XXX
Annual Return:  $XX,XXX
ROI:            XXX%
Payback:        X.X months

Scenarios:
Conservative:   XXX% ROI ($XX,XXX return)
Moderate:       XXX% ROI ($XX,XXX return)  
Aggressive:     XXX% ROI ($XX,XXX return)

Verdict: [GO / CONDITIONAL / PASS]

Verdict Logic

  • GO: Conservative ROI > 100% AND payback < 6 months
  • CONDITIONAL: Moderate ROI > 100% OR payback < 12 months
  • PASS: Conservative ROI < 50% AND payback > 12 months

Common Use Cases

  • "Should we buy this $500/month tool?"
  • "What's the ROI on hiring a VA at $2,000/month?"
  • "Is this $10,000 marketing campaign worth it?"
  • "Calculate ROI for automating our invoice process"

AI Automation ROI

For AI/automation projects specifically, factor in:

  • Hours saved per week × hourly rate = monthly savings
  • Error reduction value (fewer mistakes, rework)
  • Speed improvement (faster turnaround = more capacity)
  • Typical AI automation ROI: 300-800% in year one
