How to calculate training ROI

Training ROI compares the value or savings a training program produces against what it costs to create and deliver. For course creation specifically, the clearest estimate compares the labor cost of authoring courses by hand against the cost of an AI-assisted approach plus your platform subscription.

Traditional development concentrates cost in authoring hours — instructional design, slide building, narration, and quiz writing. AI compresses that authoring stage, so most of your remaining effort is review. The calculator above turns those assumptions into an annual savings figure, the hours you reclaim, and a return multiple on your spend.

Calculator FAQ

How do you calculate training ROI?
A simple way to estimate training-creation ROI is to compare the fully-loaded labor cost of building courses by hand (courses per year × hours per course × hourly cost) against the cost of an AI approach (a smaller review effort plus your software subscription). The difference is your estimated annual savings, and dividing it by your software cost gives a return multiple.
What inputs does this calculator use?
It uses four inputs: how many courses you create per year, how many hours a course takes to build the traditional way, the fully-loaded hourly cost of the person building courses, and your annual ELIL plan cost. It assumes AI shifts most authoring effort into faster review.
Is this a guarantee of savings?
No. It is an estimate to help you reason about the economics. Actual results depend on course complexity, content quality requirements, and how your team works. For a realistic picture, run a demo on your own documents.
