Calculator
List three to five weekly time-wasters (emails, quotes, minutes, chasing, content) and an approximate hourly value in your own currency. The totals update as you type. Nothing leaves your browser.
Arithmetic only. AI rarely removes 100% of a task — treat the monthly figure as time at stake, not a guaranteed saving.

How it works
You enter the weekly hours you spend on repetitive writing and admin, plus a rough hourly value for your time (your charge-out rate, or what you'd pay someone else to do it). It multiplies by weeks per month (default 4.33) and shows hours and A$ at stake.
It does not promise that AI will give those hours back. Consumer AI is good at first drafts, summaries and tidy-ups. It is bad at replacing judgement, client relationships and anything that needs your name on it. Read the total as the size of the problem, then decide which jobs are worth a careful AI setup.
Good candidates
Not magic
Client calls, site visits, clinical or regulated decisions, and anything where a wrong fact costs money or trust. Also: pasting private member, patient, tenant or customer identifiers into a consumer chatbot. Keep those out; use placeholders and fill real details yourself.

Questions
No. The sums run in your browser. The calculator makes no network calls of its own.
Usually not. Treat the total as time at stake. Drafting and tidy-up often reclaim a slice; decisions, relationships and quality checks stay with you.
Your charge-out rate if you bill time, or a realistic rate for someone you'd hire to do the admin. It is only for the A$ estimate — the hours figure stands alone.
52 weeks ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33. Change it if you prefer a simpler 4-week month.
