The $10,000 Trap Calculator
Your AI tools have a price. Your AI workflow has a cost. This runs your team’s real hours and rates and returns the second number — the one that isn’t on any invoice.
Companion tool to The AI Content Paradox, Chapter 1. Ten minutes. Nothing is sent anywhere; the math runs in your browser.
The Senior Salary Sinkhole
What you pay senior people to repair AI drafts, plus the tools that produced them.
Extra hours per piece × pieces per year × hourly rate, plus annual tool spend.
Used to compare you against the benchmarks in Chapter 1.
Blog posts, long-form, whatever your team treats as a production unit.
Brief to publish-ready. Count the rewriting, not just the “light editing.”
The number in your head when you bought the tools.
Annual salary ÷ 2,080. A $85,000 writer is about $40.
Every seat and subscription bought for content, times twelve.
The Re-Writing Penalty
What inconsistency costs when leadership sends work back because it doesn’t sound like you.
Pieces returned per year × (writer hours × writer rate + reviewer hours × reviewer rate).
Anything that needed a second full pass after review.
Usually a director or the CMO. Price the time honestly.
The Credibility Tax optional · estimate
Revenue that generic content didn’t earn. This one is an estimate, not an invoice — it depends on assumptions about what better content would have converted. Include it if you want the full picture; skip it if you need a number your CFO can’t argue with.
0.8% is deliberately conservative. 2% is defensible for high-intent B2B.
What the trap is costing you
Annually, from running AI content without a strategic framework.

Every figure is annual unless stated otherwise. The Sinkhole and the Penalty are hard costs: hours you are already paying for and tools you are already buying. The Credibility Tax is an estimate of revenue you didn’t earn, and it moves with your assumptions — which is why it is optional and reported separately. Benchmark ranges are from Chapter 1 of The AI Content Paradox.
