Pricing methodology
Meta template rates on this site come from Meta’s public WhatsApp Business Platform rate card, effective July 1, 2026. Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing/. They are regenerated from Meta’s published files — not guessed.
The calculator multiplies the list rate for the selected destination market and category by the message counts you enter. Utility messages you mark as free inside the customer-care window are not multiplied. Volume-tier discounts, failed deliveries, quality pauses, and WABA billing currency can change the real Meta invoice.
Wapikon subscription amounts are not hardcoded on these pages because plans are shown live on the pricing section and can be quoted in INR or AED. Never treat the calculator total as “Wapikon’s price.” It is an estimate of Meta list fees only.
How to use the calculator
Pick the recipient market (the country of the WhatsApp numbers you will message), pick a display currency, enter monthly marketing / utility / authentication volumes, and mark how many utility messages stay inside a free customer-care window. The total is a Meta list-rate estimate.
Then open Wapikon plans for the software line. Do not add the two together inside this widget — they are different vendors.
Worked examples (Meta list rates only)
Worked India example (INR list rates)
10,000 marketing + 5,000 billable utility + 2,000 authentication to Indian numbers ≈ ₹9,436.00 Meta list fees at rates effective July 1, 2026.
Worked UAE example (AED list rates)
The same mix to UAE numbers ≈ AED 2,235.20 Meta list fees. Authentication-international, if it applies to your WABA, uses a different Meta rate and is optional in the calculator.
Country & region rates
Search by country name, ISO code, or calling code. Rates follow the recipient's WhatsApp number market mapping.
