Estimate team, cloud, data, tooling, and other entered costs for an AI model development budget over a selected project duration.
Formula
const members = Math.max(1, Math.floor(Number(inputs.teamMembers || 1))); const monthlyTeamCost = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.monthlyLoadedCostPerMember || 0)); const months = Math.max(1, Number(inputs.developmentMonths || 1)); const monthlyCloud = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.monthlyCloudCost || 0)); const enteredOneTimeCosts = Math.max(0, Math.round(Number(inputs.oneTimeDataAndToolingCost || 0) * 100) / 100); const modeledTeamCost = Math.round((members * monthlyTeamCost * months) * 100) / 100; const modeledCloudCost = Math.round((monthlyCloud * months) * 100) / 100; const totalBudgetScenario = Math.round((modeledTeamCost + modeledCloudCost + enteredOneTimeCosts) * 100) / 100; return { modeledTeamCost, modeledCloudCost, enteredOneTimeCosts, totalBudgetScenario };Project Team Members

Send the technology scenario for a practical implementation or workflow audit.
With the default inputs, 5 team members at a loaded cost of $12,000 per month over 6 months produce $360,000 in modeled team cost. Adding $30,000 in cloud and compute cost plus $25,000 in one-time data and tooling costs gives a $415,000 total development budget scenario.
