What does your software team cost a year?
Enter your own numbers. We pre-filled a US estimate from public labor data, and every figure below is an estimate you can change.
These are estimates, not a quote or a guarantee.
Your costs vary with location, seniority and how you hire. The pre-filled figure leaves out recruiting, equipment and office space. The estimate assumes a team gets the same output with half the engineers when agents write, review and test the work; that is an assumption, not a measurement of your team, and results depend on your codebase and the work you give the Foundry. People still decide what gets built and approve what ships. The Tracker and the Wiki take the place of Jira and Confluence, so that cost is counted as saved in full.
