Rates checked May 31, 2026. GoHighLevel wallet pricing can change, so check the current in-app pricing before quoting client work. Voice AI uses this public formula for the estimate: (minutes x $0.045 Voice Engine) + TTS + (tokens / 1,000,000 x model price). This calculator uses $0.163/min as the blended Voice AI estimate.
Why does GoHighLevel have a base price and a real price?
The base price buys access to the platform. Wallet usage pays for messages, calls, and AI work that GoHighLevel has to process through telecom, email, and AI providers.
This is normal for platforms that send messages or make calls, but it means the public plan price is not the whole bill. A quiet solo account may add only a few dollars. A busy agency account can add much more.
What usage rates does this calculator use?
The calculator uses $0.0079 per SMS segment, $0.000675 per email, $0.013 per phone minute, blended estimate, and $0.163 per Voice AI minute, blended estimate. It also includes $97/mo per sub-account for AI Employee Unlimited.
Why does AI usage deserve its own line?
AI usage can climb faster than SMS or email because every voice call has time-based cost and model cost. A few test calls are cheap. Hundreds of calls a month can become a real line item.
That is why this page includes Voice AI minutes directly and links to a dedicated Voice AI calculator for per-call math.
