— What it does

The chatbot ROI calculator estimates the money an AI support chatbot saves by deflecting repetitive questions. Enter your monthly support volume, the average time each conversation takes, your fully-loaded support cost per hour, and an expected deflection rate — and it returns deflected conversations, hours saved, gross and net monthly savings, an annual projection, and your return on plan cost.

  • Runs entirely in your browser — no signup, and nothing you type leaves your device.
  • Adjustable deflection rate so you can model conservative and optimistic cases.
  • Shows net savings after plan cost, plus an annual projection and ROI multiple.
  • Works for any support channel — email, live chat, or help-desk tickets.

Frequently asked

What is a realistic chatbot deflection rate?
A well-trained support chatbot typically deflects 30–60% of repetitive questions within 90 days. Start at a conservative 40%, then raise it as you add source content and tune fallbacks.
What should I use for support cost per hour?
Use your fully-loaded cost: salary or contractor rate plus benefits, tools, and overhead. For many small teams a support agent or VA costs $20–$40 per hour all-in.
Does this calculator store my numbers?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or saved anywhere.
How is net savings calculated?
Net monthly savings = (deflected conversations × handle time × cost per hour) − your chatbot plan cost. The annual figure multiplies the net by twelve.
