AI vs Human Employee Cost Calculator
When does an AI agent break even versus a human doing the same task? Compares LLM token cost + human oversight against fully-loaded employee cost (salary × benefits multiplier).
Excludes opportunity cost (AI runs 24/7 with no PTO), error recovery cost, and one-time agent build cost. Most viable for high-volume repeatable tasks; complex judgment still favors humans.
