Use your own assumptions

Would less repeat support justify the cost?

Estimate the capacity you could recover on a few named tasks. Include your team’s effort and the fee before deciding whether a pilot makes sense. All amounts are in US dollars.

Count repeated support requests and walkthrough calls in one active month. Exclude tasks outside the proposed pilot.
Include the back-and-forth and any screen-share. Use a sample from your own support records.
Use salary, benefits, and overhead. This values capacity; it does not automatically reduce payroll.
Your assumption, not a promised success rate. Account for task coverage, customer uptake, successful completion, and whether a person would otherwise have helped.
For seasonal work, use equivalent active months across all customer accounts. Do not multiply a single peak month by twelve.
Additional reviews, exceptions, and coordination. Applied across all 12 months. Zero excludes this cost.
Your internal cost in US dollars for access, testing, and review. Invocursor setup is free in the eligible pilot. Zero excludes your internal effort.
This scenario assumes eligibility for the small SaaS pilot: fewer than 50 employees. Founding-rate eligibility is confirmed before setup.
There is no assumed automation rate. Try a lower recovery percentage as well as your expected case. These inputs stay in this calculator; their values are not sent to Google Analytics.

For eligible pilot participants who choose to continue, the first 12 months from go-live include 60 free days (about two months) and ten months at US$1,000: US$10,000. Continuation requires your agreement and has a 12-month paid term; this estimate includes its first ten months. An agreed 30-day extension moves one paid month outside this window. Taxes and separately quoted work are excluded.

What the estimate can tell you

The baseline is requests multiplied by minutes per request. Your recovery assumption reduces that workload. Annual value uses your active-month count, then subtracts full-year service fees, additional oversight, and internal setup effort. Negative results are shown.

A completed assistant task is not automatically an avoided support request. A pilot must check both the result and the human work it replaces. Recovered staff time is useful capacity; it becomes a cash saving only when it avoids an actual cost.

For seasonal tasks, compare a real setup period and the quieter months. Churn, expansion revenue, and hypothetical hiring savings are excluded. Use measured pilot results before making an ongoing decision.
