Glossary · AI Agent ROI

AI Agent ROI

AI agent ROI is the return on investment from deploying an AI agent — the value of work delivered, net of all costs, relative to what was spent.

A defensible ROI calculation counts outcomes delivered at their benchmarked value and subtracts total cost of ownership, not just the headline subscription fee.

Benchmarking the price per outcome against the WorkForce Labor Index helps separate genuine savings from optimistic vendor math.
