AI isn't a cost line. It's an investment with a return.
Model what AI agents return when they absorb repetitive work across your teams and trim operating spend. Adjust the inputs to match your business; every figure updates instantly.
01Scenario
Scales how much of each role's work AI agents absorb.
02People spend in scope
Teams where AI agents can take on repetitive work. Headcount is in full-time equivalents (two half-time people = 1). Fully loaded cost = salary + benefits + payroll taxes (typically 1.25–1.4× salary).
03Operations spend
Non-payroll costs AI agents can reduce. Enter annual spend and the expected reduction.
04AI investment
What you put in. Platform, agents, usage and the people who govern them.
Discovery, integration, data prep, training.
Distinct agents running in production.
Licensing, hosting, maintenance.
LLM tokens and compute.
Human-in-the-loop review, tuning, security.
Linear ramp while agents are rolled out.
Your cost of capital.
Investment vs. return over 36 months
Cumulative AI spend against cumulative savings. The crossover is your payback point.
Annual operating cost, before and after
People and operations spend in scope, plus AI spend.
Steady-state annual run rate
Once agents are at full value (after the ramp).
Savings by function
Annual, at full value, under the selected scenario.
| Function | Annual people spend | AI absorbs | FTE capacity freed | Hard savings | Redeployed value |
|---|

Validate these numbers against your real workflows.
Our AI assessment maps your highest-return automation opportunities, prices the agents, and gives you a payback plan in writing.
Estimates are illustrative and based on the assumptions entered above. Actual results depend on process maturity, data quality, adoption and scope. This calculator is not a quote or guarantee of savings.
