// where the numbers come from
- Human receptionist
- $2,900/mo — BLS Occupation 43-4171 median wage $16.42/hr × 40hr × 4.33 weeks, fully loaded (payroll tax + benefits push it to ~$4,100/mo; we use the low anchor).
- Answering service
- $1.50/min — mid-point of public pricing at Ruby, Smith.ai, AnswerConnect (range $1.25–$1.85/min, 2026).
- Average call length
- 3 minutes — inbound service-business benchmark.
- Missed-call recovery
- You set the %. 30% is conservative for high-intent inbound; 50%+ is normal for a booked service.
- Handled tier picked
- Auto-selected by minute usage: ≤500 = Starter, ≤1,500 = Pro, otherwise Vertical.
- What's not counted
- Setup fee ($500 one-time), overage past your plan's minutes, and time you get back. All easy wins for the case.
