The Real Cost of Hiring

Insurance agencies in Houston face a critical decision: hire a full-time receptionist or implement an AI-powered solution. While hiring seems straightforward, the true cost extends far beyond the annual salary.

Breaking Down Employee Costs

A full-time receptionist in Houston earns approximately $50,000 annually. However, this number represents only a fraction of the actual expense. When you factor in payroll taxes (7.65%), workers' compensation insurance ($1,500-$3,000 annually), health insurance ($6,000-$12,000 annually), retirement contributions, paid time off, and training costs, the true annual investment reaches $70,000-$80,000.

In contrast, OAK AI's AI receptionist solution costs just a fraction of that—typically $300-$500 per month, or $3,600-$6,000 annually. That's roughly 12-20 times less expensive than a traditional hire.
