What does an AI voice agent cost per call?
Voice cost is billed per minute across four lines: speech recognition, the language model, speech synthesis and telephony. Set your call volume and average duration, and this calculator returns the cost per minute, per call and per month, in INR and USD.
Per-minute pricing is where voice projects surprise people. A three-minute call that looks cheap becomes a real number at fifty thousand calls a month.

Assumptions
- Telephony in India is cheaper than most markets; international outbound is not. Set the rate your provider actually charges.
- Speech recognition and synthesis are usually billed per audio minute, not per token.
- Barge-in, silence and hold time are billed. Real billed minutes run 10–20% above conversation length.
- Human escalation is a separate cost line: the agent still pays for the minutes before the hand-off.
