How it is calculated

calls per day × average length × 30 × rate per minute + subscription

What the calculation excludes

  • A month is counted as 30 days: calendar months are shorter and longer, a difference of up to three per cent.
  • The rate and the subscription are whatever your vendor quotes. We neither set them nor influence them.
  • The calculation excludes scenario development, integrations and support — those are one-off and recurring work, not the cost of a minute.
  • It also excludes calls the agent hands to a person: an operator handles those.

How the calculation is put together

  • Calls per day
  • Average call length
  • Rate per minute
  • Monthly subscription
  • Minutes per month
