Rovo ROI calculator

Estimate what Rovo gives back to your team.

Rovo is included in paid Atlassian Cloud plans and metered in credits. Enter your team to see the hours it returns, what those hours are worth, and whether your usage fits inside the credits you already pay for.

Start from the example closest to your company, then replace the roles, hours, and plan with your own. Every figure updates as you type. When the numbers look right, send them to an architect and we will check them against your actual plan and usage.

Team

Who will use Rovo

Add each role with its headcount and fully loaded hourly cost (salary, benefits, and overhead). The rows are an example. Replace them with yours.

70%

Not everyone picks up a new tool. Value and credit use are both counted on active people only.

Time

Time spent looking for information

Hours per person per day spent hunting for documents, tickets, past decisions, and the person who knows the answer.

1.8 h
How much of that time Rovo gives back

That is 1.8 hours a week for each active person.

Service desk

Requests a Rovo agent resolves

A self-service agent in Jira Service Management can answer requests before they reach a person. Count only requests it closes with no handoff.

The self-service agent bills variable credits. A single request usually lands in Atlassian's light range, 10 to 200.

100 requests resolved a month.

Plan

What you license today

Rovo is included in paid Atlassian Cloud plans. Each seat adds credits to one pool shared across your organization. The pool resets every month and unused credits do not roll over.

Edition

They need Rovo Standard: $5 a person a month, with 400 credits each. Count them inside your team above.

Included: 35,000 credits a month.

How you pay for credits over the pool

List price is $10 per 1,000 credits, billed monthly on what you use. Check your extra usage setting for each meter; admins can cap it.

Usage

How often people ask Rovo for help

Rovo Search, definitions, and summaries are free. Chat, agents, and calls from outside tools use credits. Task sizes and ranges follow Atlassian's rate card.

Rollout

One-time cost to get Rovo working

Permission and content cleanup, agent setup, governance, and training. The figure is an example. Use your own, or ask us for a fixed-scope quote.

Value here is capacity returned, not cash saved. It becomes savings when you plan for it: hires you defer, work that ships sooner, tickets that never get raised.

Your estimate is already in the message, with a link that reopens it. An architect reads it, checks the assumptions against your plan, and replies with a reviewed copy.

The math

How the estimate works.

Hours back
people × active share × search hours × time given back × 21.65 workdays, plus resolved requests × agent minutes on the service desk.
Value
hours back × cost per hour, added up role by role.
Credits used
active people × (daily requests × credits × 21.65 + weekly tasks × credits × 4.33), plus resolved requests × credits each. An uploaded export replaces this with your actual use.
Credits included
seats × plan allowance, plus 400 for each Rovo Standard user, pooled across the organization.
Extra cost
Pay as you go: credits over the pool × price per credit. Prepaid pack: the smallest pack that covers the gap, at least 2,000 credits. Plus $5 a month for each Rovo Standard user.
Payback
rollout cost ÷ net value per month. First-year ROI is (net value per year − rollout cost) ÷ rollout cost.

A month is 4.33 weeks of five 8-hour days, the same convention as our original calculator. The estimate leaves out your base Atlassian subscription, since you pay it with or without Rovo.

Questions we get

Rovo pricing, in plain terms.

Does Rovo cost extra?

Not as a seat. Rovo is included in every paid Standard, Premium, and Enterprise Cloud plan of Jira, Confluence, the Service Collection, and the Teamwork Collection. Use is metered in Rovo credits. Each seat adds its allowance to one pool for the whole organization: 25, 70, or 150 credits a month on Jira or Confluence, and 250, 700, or 1,500 on the Collections.

Can we buy Rovo credits on their own?

Yes, three ways. Pay as you go: with extra usage on, credits over your pool bill at $0.01 each ($10 per 1,000), starting December 3, 2026. Prepaid monthly packs: 2,000 to 10 million credits at the same list rate, with volume discounts based on your commitment. Rovo Standard: $5 a person a month for people with no Jira or Confluence seat, adding 400 credits each. Pack credits and included credits do not roll over. A Solution Partner can size and buy packs for you.

What uses Rovo credits?

Rovo Search, definitions, and summaries are free. A chat message in Quick answer mode and a basic agent run use 10 credits each. Think deeper, advanced agents, agents in Jira, the Jira coding agent, and the service desk's self-service agent use variable credits: 10 to 200 for light tasks, 201 to 500 for medium, and 500 or more for heavy. Calls from outside tools through the Rovo MCP server mostly cost 1 to 10 credits each.

What happens when we use more than our allowance?

Extra usage is billed at the list rate. Check your setting for each meter. Admins get a notice at 80% and 100% of the allowance, can set a spending cap, or can turn extra usage off so new requests pause until the pool resets. A chat or agent task already running when the limit hits will finish.

What is not in this estimate?

Your base Atlassian subscription. Rovo Dev, which has its own credits. Customer Service Management agents for external customers, which bill $1.00 per resolution on a separate meter. Automation steps over your allowance, which bill $0.50 per 1,000 steps. Each meter has its own pool, so running out of one does not affect the others.

Is the time saved real money?

It is capacity. It turns into money when you decide what the time is for: a hire you defer, a backlog that clears, fewer tickets to the service desk. Measure search time and ticket volume before rollout so you have a baseline to compare against.

How do we find our real credit use?

In Atlassian Administration, open Usage, then Meters, then Rovo credits. You can see usage by app, user, and feature, and export up to three months as a CSV. Upload that file in the Usage section above.
