# WhatsApp Business API cost calculator

Estimate only: Meta charges and provider fees are separate. Enter delivered billable template-message counts and review the editable India list-rate defaults: ₹0.8631 for marketing, ₹0.1150 for utility, and ₹0.1150 for authentication. Then add a current provider fee, recurring add-ons, and an optional illustrative tax adjustment. Utility and authentication tiers may reduce costs at very high volume, so replace any assumption with the current rate that applies to your account.

Formula: Meta subtotal + provider subtotal = pre-tax total. Tax applies to the provider subtotal by default, or the full pre-tax total when you choose it. Tax treatment is not tax advice.

The Meta India list rates above were checked on 2026-09-05 (effective 2026-01-01). The calculator defaults the illustrative tax adjustment to Convo’s published 18% GST treatment, applied to the provider subtotal; change it if that does not apply to your account. Check [Meta WhatsApp pricing](https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/business-messaging/whatsapp/pricing) and [Convo pricing](https://www.convo.co.in/pricing) before relying on an estimate. The interactive controls require JavaScript; this formula and the source links remain usable without it. Rates, eligibility, delivery, free-entry points, currency, taxes and add-ons can change.
