Copilot ROI: Reducing Manual Work, Staffing Needs and Long-Term Cost Savings

According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, When you measure Copilot ROI, the numbers speak for themselves: Copilot users save an average of 14 minutes per day - that’s nearly 1.2 hours per week freed up for more important work. Imagine redirecting that time toward big-picture projects instead of busy-work! 

Slash Manual Work

With Copilot handling the busy‐work, people report an average of 14 minutes saved each daythat’s about 1.2 hours every week to refocus on meaningful projects. In fact, the most efficient 22% of users said Copilot shaves off over 30 minutes daily, and top performers see up to 10 hours saved per month. By automating document drafts, data pulls, and summarizations, you boost productivity and your Copilot ROI, every time you click.

Skip the Extra Headcount

Why shell out ~$4,700 to hire one more employee when you could give 13 people a year of Copilot for the same price? At $30 per user per month (,or $360 annually), Copilot delivers AI-powered assistance across Microsoft 365 apps - for a fraction of the cost of recruiting, onboarding, and training a new hire.

On top of that, McKinsey projects that generative AI could automate up to 30 percent of hours worked in the U.S. by 2030 - meaning you won’t need as many bodies to get the job done.

ROI That Grows Over Time

According to Forrester’s Total Economic Impact™ study, small and medium businesses deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot realized a 353% Copilot ROI over three years, with a payback period of under six months. Medium-impact organizations in the study saw a net present value of $358.5K over that same period, meaning every dollar you invest in Copilot returns $3.53 in cost savings and productivity gains.
