ROI calculator — Savantz AI video savings

ROI Calculator

The Numbers Are Hard to Ignore

Traditional Production

Studio time, editors, voice talent, revisions, and delays. Every time.

$1,000-$5,000 per finished minute.

Savantz

Same professional quality. Brain Science. Ready faster. No production team required.

$20 per finished minute.

Calculate Your Savings

Most teams save 80%+ vs. traditional production.

Step 1

What are your production costs?

Include all video production: in-house time, agency fees, or platform costs.

Cost per finished minute ($)

Industry avg: $1,000 – $5,000

Total minutes produced / year

Step 2

How much are learners actually retaining?

Research confirms that 70% of standard training content is forgotten within 48 hours.
This calculator uses 30% as the retention baseline — the documented industry reality.

Retention rate: 30%

Step 3

What does underperformance cost?

When people can't perform after training, productivity drops. Estimate the cost of that gap.

Avg. employee hourly cost ($)

# Employees trained / year

Hours of reduced productivity per employee

hrs

Step 4

How often do you retrain on the same topics?

Each time retention fails, you pay again. Retraining multiplies your original production investment.

Number of additional times you've trained the same content

Employee time per retraining session

hrs

Your Results

True Cost of Training Failure

Production + wasted investment + operational + retraining

Effective Cost Per Retained Min

What you're really paying for retention

Potential Annual Savings

Projected estimate based on $20/min production cost & 72% retention — not a guaranteed result

Cost Comparison: Current vs. Savantz Approach

Annual cost impact $0

Savantz approach (same output at ~$20/min + 72% retention) $0

Money left on table (Payroll spent on forgotten training content) $0

*Operational cost held constant — actual savings may be higher.
