How we calculate ROI
Monthly productivity savings = (hours saved per dev per week × 4 weeks × team size × hourly rate).
Context-switch savings = $25 per switch × 2 avoided switches per day × ~20 working days × team size. Research puts the cost of an interrupted developer at ~$25 in lost focus and re-orientation; AI tools that keep flow (inline edit, agent in IDE) reduce switches.
Net = total savings − (tool cost per user × team size). ROI = (net ÷ total cost) × 100. Break-even = days until cumulative savings equal one month’s tool cost.
- Defaults use 2026-style benchmarks; adjust inputs to match your team.
- Tool recommendation changes with “Main priority” (e.g. Privacy → Llama 4 local, Logic → Claude Code).
