How this works: AI cost = (input tokens × input price + output tokens × output price) per task. Human cost = hourly rate × minutes per task / 60. Monthly = daily × 22 working days. Annual = monthly × 12. ROI = (human cost − AI cost) / AI cost × 100%. Prices as of March 2026.

This calculator shows direct cost comparison only. It does not account for: AI quality vs human quality, setup/integration costs, tasks where AI needs human review, or productivity gains from AI speed. Use it as one data point, not the only decision factor.
