Copilot waste calculator · Eight questions · Three minutes · No sign-up - You pay for Copilot. Find out how much of it is idle.
Eight plain questions put a number on the seats nobody uses and score whether your rollout is set up to change that: permissions, use cases, training, measurement and ownership. You get the idle spend on list pricing, the one gap to close first, the fixed-price step that closes it, and a summary you can keep or send. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.

How the score works - Plain rules, so you can check the result yourself.
No weighting tricks and no hidden lead score. 6 dimensions, three points each, 18 at the top, scored the same way for everyone.
Six dimensions, three points each
Adoption, permissions, use cases, training, measurement and ownership each score 0 to 3 from one question. Eighteen is the top score.
The cost is your arithmetic
Seats × AU $31.40 × 12 months, with the idle pool shown as a range from the share of people you say use it. Where you do not know, a band around the published 35.8 % rate stands in and the result says so.
Permissions come first
Low adoption with unchecked sharing points at the Copilot Activation Sprint, which fixes permissions before use cases. Good adoption with unchecked sharing points at Cyber Readiness.
Your numbers stay yours
The idle figure is the size of the pool on list pricing, not a promised saving. Answers stay in your browser until you choose to send them.
