Agent Payroll

Agent payroll is the consolidated accounting of what an organization pays its AI agents, framed like a payroll line for synthetic labor.

Treating agent spend as payroll groups recurring AI labor cost into a single, plannable budget alongside human compensation.

Pricing each agent per outcome and benchmarking it against the market rate keeps an agent payroll grounded in real value delivered.
