Configure your institution's exact loan volumes, analyst staffing, and portfolio mix. The calculator models annual savings, IRR, payback period, agent-level efficiency gains, and 3- and 5-year NPV — with bear / base / bull sensitivity analysis.

For informational and illustrative purposes only. This calculator generates forward-looking financial estimates based solely on the inputs you provide. It does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, or a binding commercial commitment. CAIBots makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of outputs generated by this tool.
Actual results will vary. Projected savings, ROI, payback periods, IRR, and NPV are estimates derived from user-supplied inputs and publicly available industry benchmarks. They are not guarantees of future performance. AI cost per decision reflects model inference only; third-party data fees (credit bureau, AVM, CoStar, IRS 4506-C) are institution pass-through costs excluded from this model. Realized benefits depend on actual transaction volumes, staffing levels, integration complexity, regulatory environment, model validation timelines, and organizational factors not fully captured by any calculator.
Financial methodology. ROI = (Net Annual Benefit − Total Annual Cost) ÷ Total Annual Cost. Payback via cumulative monthly cash-flow simulation; Year 1 benefit ramp default 70% (adjustable). IRR uses Newton-Raphson iteration on a 5-year cash-flow series: Year 0 = one-time implementation cost only; recurring platform and API fees deducted from each future year. IRR figures for SaaS models are directional — a small one-time Y0 capex relative to large recurring savings produces high percentages. Compare to your internal hurdle rate; do not interpret absolute value. 3-Year NPV discounted at 8% WACC (adjustable). Nominal USD; no inflation adjustment.
Sensitivity scenarios. Conservative: −20% volume · 70% of benchmark savings · +15% cost · 60% Year 1 ramp. Optimistic: +20% volume · 100% benchmark savings · base cost · 80% Year 1 ramp. These parameters are identical across all CAIBots ROI calculators to enable consistent cross-product comparison.
Benchmark sources. Default inputs derived from: FFIEC examination statistics, FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile data, RMA Annual Statement Studies, Federal Reserve SLOOS, and Celent/Aite-Novarica/Oliver Wyman industry surveys. CAIBots strongly recommends replacing defaults with your institution’s own volume, cost, and rate data before presenting results to executive leadership, boards, or procurement committees.
