An estimate, not an income forecast.
Time value is not cash earned. Savings only happen if the workflow works and the freed time is useful. This estimate excludes maintenance, errors, taxes, learning time beyond setup, and any extra API or usage charges.
Monthly hours saved = minutes per run × runs ÷ 60. Monthly net time value = hours saved × hourly value − software cost. Setup payback = setup hours × hourly value ÷ positive monthly net time value.
