Utility, authentication and calling use Meta's monthly volume tiers; marketing and service replies don't. A call that crosses a tier is billed entirely at the lower rate, so real calling costs can come in slightly under this estimate. Taxes aren't included. AI agent costs are estimates. Calling uses [Voice AI Agents](https://telnyx.com/pricing/voice-ai-agents) rates: a $0.05\-a-minute voice engine plus model tokens, estimated the same way as the Voice AI Agents calculator. The voice engine rounds each call up to 60 seconds, which isn't included here.
