AI vs. human team cost calculator

Estimate the loaded annual cost of the human roles your company needs, then compare that investment with an AI executive team that works continuously.

Inputs and method

Worked example and caveats

For marketing, data, and product salaries of $85,000, $90,000, and $110,000, the $285,000 base becomes $356,250 after the 25% allowance. Against $5,988 for a year of Boardroom, the modeled difference is $350,262.

This is a scenario-planning comparison, not a claim that AI can replace every employee. Actual costs vary by country, seniority, benefits, recruiting, implementation, and the work that still requires a human decision-maker.
