TOOL · COPILOT ROI · 4 MIN

Quantify your GitHub Copilot rollout.

Adjust five inputs to model year-one net economic impact, ROI, and payback period. Designed to be conservative — refine with telemetry from an instrumented 30-day pilot before committing budget.

THE MODEL

Five inputs. One number.

INPUTS
ACCEPTANCE RATE32%
Share of suggestions accepted.
TIME SAVED12%
Per-engineer productive time recovered.
DEFECT-DENSITY DELTA8%
Reduction in production defects.
ASSUMPTIONS
  • · 1,600 productive engineering hours per FTE per year
  • · Defect-density delta translates to 15% of hourly cost in avoided rework
  • · Adoption efficiency = 0.5 + acceptance_rate × 0.5
  • · License = $19/seat/mo, enablement = $200/seat one-time, amortized year one
