What does your front desk cost?
Salary is only part of it. See the fully-loaded annual cost of phone coverage — and how much of the week still goes unanswered.
A front-desk hire costs far more than salary once you add benefits and overhead — and one full-time seat still covers only about 40 of the 168 hours in a week. This estimator shows your current loaded cost and the coverage gap an AI receptionist closes 24/7.
Staffing cost FAQ
How much does a front-desk receptionist cost?
Beyond salary, a front-desk hire carries 20–30% in benefits and overhead, and still only covers about 40 of the 168 hours in a week. This estimator shows your fully-loaded annual cost and how much of the week stays uncovered.
Can an AI receptionist replace front-desk staff?
Many businesses use an AI receptionist for after-hours and overflow while keeping daytime staff; others run it as the full front desk. It answers unlimited calls 24/7 at a flat rate, so you get coverage without staffing nights and weekends.
How much can I save with an AI receptionist?
Savings depend on your call volume and current coverage. Keres is a flat monthly rate — typically well below a full-time hire plus a per-minute answering service. Book a demo for an exact quote against these numbers.
