How This Calculation Works

Weekly hours × 4.33 = monthly hours. Monthly hours × your hourly rate = the dollar value of your time spent on these tasks every month.

Claude Cowork handles roughly 80% of these categories well — email triage with draft replies, scheduled morning briefings, client research, file cleanup, and multi-platform content. We apply that 80% coverage factor to your monthly time value to get the "time-saved-by-Cowork" number.

Subtract the $20/month Pro plan cost. What's left is your net monthly savings. Divide by $20 for the ROI multiple.

The calculation is conservative. If Cowork handles more than 80% of your tasks, your savings are higher. If less, lower. Adjust the hours you enter to reflect your actual situation.
