How to Use the Call Cost Calculator

The Call Cost Calculator helps you estimate the cost of a call based on its duration, type, and the time of day it is made. Follow this guide to effectively use the calculator.

Step 1: Provide Call Duration

Begin by entering the duration of your call in minutes. Ensure that the number you enter is zero or greater, and that it increments in steps of 0.5 minutes. This field is required, so make sure it is filled in correctly to proceed.

Step 2: Select Call Type

Next, choose the type of call you are making from the options provided. The available options include:

  • Local: Select this if your call is within the same area or city. It has a rate of 1.0.
  • National: Choose this option if the call is within the same country. It has a rate of 1.5.
  • International: Select this for calls made to other countries. This incurs a rate of 2.5.

This selection is mandatory to calculate the correct charges.

Step 3: Choose Time of Day

Select the time of day when the call is being made as either Peak or Off-Peak hours. The options are as follows:

  • Peak Hours: These are between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM and have a multiplier rate of 1.0.
  • Off-Peak Hours: These are from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM and have a reduced multiplier rate of 0.5.

Make sure to select this option as it affects the final cost calculation.

Step 4: Review the Calculated Costs

  • Base Charge: This is calculated by multiplying the call duration by the selected call type rate. The result will be displayed in USD, rounded to two decimal places.
  • Time Adjusted Rate: This cost is the result of multiplying the base charge by the selected time of day multiplier. This will also be shown in USD.
  • Tax: The calculator will automatically compute a 10% tax on the time-adjusted rate, shown in USD.
  • Total Cost: Finally, the total cost is obtained by summing the time-adjusted rate and the tax value. This total is displayed in USD.

By following these steps, you’ll effectively use the Call Cost Calculator to determine the cost of your calls accurately.
