AI Voice Agent Cost Calculator
Compare, with your own numbers, the monthly cost of answering the phone with people and with an AI voice agent billed by the minute. The calculator assumes no market price.
Your assumptions
Example values, to be replaced with yours: your provider's price, the real cost of your team. The result only holds for the numbers you enter.
The volume you want answered.
From pick-up to hang-up.
Salary, charges and overhead: the real cost to the business, or an outsourcer's hourly rate.
A person is also paid when the phone is quiet: 100% does not exist.
The cases it cannot handle alone. They are counted as handled in full by a person.
The per-minute price from your provider's quote or price list.
Monthly amount, on top of per-minute billing.
Configuration, integration, training: paid once.
The number of months you write it off over.
How it is calculated
- Human cost = minutes per month ÷ 60 × hourly cost ÷ occupancy rate. A person is also paid during quiet periods, which makes every minute actually spent on the phone more expensive.
- Agent cost = minutes per month × per-minute price + fixed fees + spread setup + handed-over share × human cost.
- The agent answers every call and bills it by the minute, including the ones it hands over; handed-over calls are then counted in full on the human side. This is a cautious estimate for the agent.
- The calculator contains no market price and stores nothing: everything is computed in your browser.
A per-minute price does not tell the whole story: see the costs a price list does not show.
