We start from your monthly conversation volume and the average minutes a human agent spends per conversation to calculate the total human-agent hours needed each month. Dividing by 160 working hours gives the equivalent number of full-time agents, and multiplying hours by your hourly cost assumption gives the total human monthly cost.
Savings are simply the human monthly cost minus the AI agent's monthly cost, shown as both an amount and a percentage. At very low conversation volumes, an AI agent can occasionally cost more than the equivalent human hours — we show that honestly rather than floor the number at zero.
Frequently asked questions
160 hours approximates a standard full-time schedule (about 8 hours a day, 20 working days a month) after accounting for weekends. It's a planning assumption, not an exact figure for your team's actual schedule or contract terms.
The default is a low regional call-center estimate meant as an editable starting point, not a benchmark for any specific country or role. Replace it with your own fully-loaded hourly cost — including salary, benefits, and overhead — for an accurate comparison.
No — this tool compares cost only. It does not model response quality, escalation handling, or customer satisfaction, all of which vary by implementation. Most businesses run AI agents alongside human staff for complex or sensitive conversations rather than as a full replacement.
