Role cost calculator

What a receptionist costs per year

Start from a typical loaded cost or type the one you pay. The calculator puts the year beside the running cost of a system doing the same job, with the build counted in year one. It also covers a support agent, an SDR and a bookkeeper.

Free and without sign-up. The arithmetic runs in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The role

Leave it empty to use the typical loaded monthly cost, $3,170.

$38,040. What a full-time receptionist typically costs a year, fully loaded.

A full-time receptionist in the US typically costs about $3,170 a month fully loaded, which is $38,040 a year for around 40 hours of cover a week. An AI receptionist runs at $290 a month after a build from $1,490, so its first year costs $4,970. Enter what you pay to replace the typical figure with yours.

How the number is worked out

Every figure the calculator assumes is on this page, so the result can be checked with a pencil.

The person
The monthly cost you enter times twelve. Leave it empty and the calculator uses the typical loaded cost for the role: salary plus employer taxes and benefits, for a US small business. That figure is an anchor, not a measurement of your business, and it is labelled as one.
The system
The monthly running cost from the role’s own page times twelve, plus the build price once in year one. Both are starting prices, so a larger deployment costs more and is quoted in writing before anything starts.
The difference
Year one is the person’s year minus the system’s year and the build. Later years drop the build. When your cost is lower than the system’s, the result says so instead of showing a saving.
What it leaves out
Hiring, training and management time on the person’s side, and your team’s time reviewing the system’s work on the other. Each role also keeps a part of the job that stays with a person, shown under the result.

About $38,040 a year for a full-time receptionist in the US, using a typical loaded cost of $3,170 a month. Wage, location, benefits and overtime move it in either direction, so enter what you actually pay for a figure that is yours.

Salary plus what employing someone adds on top: employer payroll taxes, benefits, paid leave and equipment. It is the figure that compares fairly with a monthly subscription.

No. A receptionist system answers every call, books appointments and takes messages at any hour, and it hands an upset caller to a person immediately. Each role page lists what the system does and what stays human.

They are typical loaded monthly costs for a US small business, the same anchors printed on each role page and used by the AIGrow scan. Wherever they appear they are marked as anchors, because they describe a typical business rather than yours.

Each role page lists the work the system takes, the line it does not cross, and how it goes live without changing what already works on day one.
