AI CCTV cost and benefit calculator

Build a scenario from your own quote and evidence. Separate actual cash savings from productivity estimates; a result can legitimately say the purchase is not justified.

Your business-case scenario

Productivity estimate: ₹0 / month. This is time value, not recovered cash.

Price unknown. Obtain a complete quote before calculating net savings or payback.

Assumptions and calculation

Net monthly cash = documented recoverable cash − quoted monthly costs. Year-one cash = 12 × net monthly cash − one-time costs. Payback = one-time costs / positive net monthly cash; otherwise not achieved.

Staff-time value is shown separately and never added to cash savings. Do not count the same saved labour cost in both fields. Theft prevention, uncertain risk reduction and speculative payroll recovery are excluded.

Include taxes, support, hardware and setup consistently with your accounting approach. Zero cost is accepted only when you explicitly enter it; unknown price produces no return claim. These are scenarios, not PGAK revenue or advertising conversion values.
