ROI & Cost Modeling
See the number that matters to you.
Not a generic savings estimate — a specific, credible figure tied to your actual business inputs. Model AI transformation gains, marketing return, build cost versus a US agency, or annual offshore team savings, then validate it with our team.
Four models
Pick the calculation that fits your decision.
Each model is built for a specific buyer and the specific number they need to justify a move.
AI Transformation ROI
CEO / CTOEstimate annual productivity gains from AI-augmenting repetitive work, the payback period, and 3-year ROI. The model measures time recaptured — a floor, not a ceiling. Real AI transformation typically delivers more.
Digital Marketing ROI
Marketing DirectorProject additional annual revenue from properly managed paid and organic marketing — additional leads per month, cost per sale before and after, and marketing ROI.
Build vs. US Agency
CTO / FounderCompare the same scope at a US agency against an InWork build — the total savings, the percentage reduction (typically 20–60%), and what that savings could fund.
Offshore Team Savings
VP EngineeringEstimate annual savings from a dedicated InWork team versus equivalent US contractors — across engineering, plus optional QA, DevOps, BA, and PM roles.
How it works
From rough number to validated plan.
Start with the homepage AI build estimator — describe what you want to build and get a strategy, proof, and an indicative scope in minutes.
Enter your real inputs — team size, salaries, ad spend, project size, or headcount — to see the figure tied to your business, not a generic average.
Read the assumptions. Our models are conservative and measure one source of value at a time; the actual ROI is typically higher.

What the AI transformation model measures
A floor, not a ceiling.
Most AI transformation ROI comes from two sources: time recaptured, where AI handles repetitive tasks and frees staff for higher-value work; and error reduction, where AI-processed data has lower error rates than manual data entry.
The transformation model focuses on time recaptured. It does not include revenue uplift from faster sales cycles, error-cost reduction, customer-satisfaction improvements, or competitive-positioning advantage. The actual ROI is typically higher — use the result as a floor, not a ceiling.
Directional
Estimates, not guarantees
Projections are based on InWork historical performance averages. Individual results vary based on market, competition, offer strength, and website conversion rate. These are directional estimates — want us to validate your numbers? Book a free call.
