Worked Example: 300 minutes of audio per day for 22 days
Estimate monthly cost at $0.006 per minute with a 5% reprocessing allowance.
- Multiply daily audio minutes by active days.
- Add the reprocessing allowance.
- Multiply by the provider’s rate per minute.
Result: The estimate reflects audio duration, retries, and the entered rate.
