How the Calculation Was Made
Analysts compared the costs of an AI agent and a human across several key parameters:
- Salary. Average specialist salary in Russia, including taxes and contributions.
- Hiring and Onboarding. Costs for recruiting, interviewing, and training a new employee.
- Workplace. Office rent, equipment, software, utilities.
- Management. Manager's time spent on task assignment and control.
- Errors and Downtime. Losses due to human factors, vacations, sick leave.
- AI Agent Implementation. One-time costs for development and integration.
- AI Agent Maintenance. Monthly expenses for cloud resources and support.
Comparison Results in Figures
| Parameter | Human (average monthly) | AI Agent (average monthly) |
|---|---|---|
| Salary/License | from 60 000 RUB | from 30 000 RUB |
| Taxes and Contributions | from 18 000 RUB | 0 RUB |
| Hiring and Onboarding (one-time) | from 50 000 RUB | 0 RUB |
| Workplace | from 10 000 RUB | 0 RUB |
| Management | from 5 000 RUB | from 1 000 RUB |
| Errors and Downtime | variable | minimal |
| Total Monthly (excluding one-time) | from 93 000 RUB | from 31 000 RUB |
As the table shows, monthly costs for an AI agent are 2-3 times lower than for a human. An AI agent doesn't get sick, doesn't take vacations, works 24/7, and doesn't make random errors.
