+# ROI Calculator
+
+Calculate and present compelling ROI for AI automation projects.
+
+## ROI Calculation Framework
+
+### Current State Costs (Annual)
+```
+Labor Costs:
+- Hours per week: [X]
+- Hourly rate: $[X]
+- Annual cost: Hours × Rate × 52 = $[X]
+
+Error Costs:
+- Error rate: [X]%
+- Cost per error: $[X]
+- Annual error cost: $[X]
+
+Opportunity Costs:
+- Lost revenue due to delays: $[X]
+- Missed opportunities: $[X]
+
+Total Annual Cost: $[X]
+```
+
+### Automation Solution
+```
+Implementation Costs:
+- Agency fees: $[X]
+- Software licenses: $[X]/year
+- Training: $[X]
+- Total implementation: $[X]
+
+Annual Operating Costs:
+- Software licenses: $[X]
+- API costs: $[X]
+- Maintenance: $[X]
+- Total annual operating: $[X]
+```
+
+### ROI Calculation
+```
+Time Savings:
+- Current time: [X] hours/week
+- After automation: [X] hours/week
+- Time saved: [X] hours/week
+- Annual hours saved: [X] × 52 = [X]
+- Value of time saved: [X] × $[rate] = $[X]
+
+Quality Improvements:
+- Error reduction: [X]%
+- Annual error savings: $[X]
+
+Speed Improvements:
+- Faster processing: [X]%
+- Additional capacity: $[X]
+
+Total Annual Benefit: $[X]
+Net Annual Benefit: $[X] - $[X] operating = $[X]
+
+ROI: (Net Benefit / Implementation Cost) × 100 = [X]%
+Payback Period: Implementation Cost / Net Annual Benefit = [X] months
+```

+# ROI Analysis: [Project Name]
+
+## Executive Summary
+By implementing [solution], [Company] will save **$X per year** with an ROI of **X%** and payback period of **X months**.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Time Investment
+Currently, your team spends:
+- **X hours per week** on [process]
+- **X hours per year** total
+- **$X per year** in labor costs (at $X/hour)
+
+### Quality Issues
+- **X% error rate** costing approximately **$X per error**
+- **$X per year** in rework and corrections
+
+### Opportunity Cost
+- **X hours per week** that could be spent on higher-value work
+- Estimated **$X in missed revenue** due to capacity constraints
+
+**Total Current Annual Cost: $X**
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+### Implementation
+- Development: $X
+- Integration: $X
+- Training: $X
+**Total Implementation: $X**
+
+### Annual Operating Costs
+- Software licenses: $X/year
+- API usage: $X/year
+- Maintenance: $X/year
+**Total Annual Operating: $X/year**
+
+## Expected Benefits
+
+### Time Savings
+- **Reduce process time by X%**
+- **Save X hours per week**
+- **$X value of time savings per year**
+
+### Quality Improvements
+- **Reduce errors by X%**
+- **Save $X per year in error costs**
+
+### Capacity Gains
+- **Free up X% of team capacity**
+- **Enable $X in additional revenue**
+
+**Total Annual Benefit: $X**
+
+## ROI Summary
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Implementation Cost | $X |
+| Annual Operating Cost | $X |
+| Annual Benefit | $X |
+| Net Annual Benefit | $X |
+| **ROI** | **X%** |
+| **Payback Period** | **X months** |
+| **3-Year Value** | **$X** |
+
+## Comparison: Do Nothing vs Automate
+
+### Year 1
+- Do Nothing: Lose $X in inefficiency
+- Automate: Invest $X, gain $X → Net $X
+
+### Year 2
+- Do Nothing: Lose $X (cumulative $X)
+- Automate: Gain $X (cumulative $X)
+
+### Year 3
+- Do Nothing: Lose $X (cumulative $X)
+- Automate: Gain $X (cumulative $X)
+
+**3-Year Difference: $X**
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+- Phased implementation reduces risk
+- 30-day warranty included
+- Ongoing support available
+- Proven technology stack
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Approve project scope
+2. Begin implementation (Week 1)
+3. See first results (Week 8)
+4. Full ROI realized (Month X)

+
+## Industry-Specific ROI Examples
+
+### Customer Support Automation
+```
+Before: 1000 tickets/month, 15 min average = 250 hours
+After: 60% automated, 100 hours saved
+Savings: 150 hours × $35/hour = $5,250/month
+Annual: $63,000
+Implementation: $25,000
+ROI: 252% (4-month payback)
+```
+
+### Content Generation
+```
+Before: 10 posts/week, 2 hours each = 20 hours/week
+After: AI generates drafts, 30 min review = 5 hours/week
+Savings: 15 hours × $75/hour = $1,125/week
+Annual: $58,500
+Implementation: $15,000
+ROI: 390% (3-month payback)
+```
+
+### Lead Qualification
+```
+Before: 500 leads/month, 10 min each = 83 hours
+After: AI scores leads, review top 20% = 17 hours
+Savings: 66 hours × $50/hour = $3,300/month
+Plus: 25% increase in qualified leads = $10,000/month
+Annual: $159,600
+Implementation: $20,000
+ROI: 798% (1.5-month payback)
