How to Model Chatbot ROI

Use a consistent month and a defensible fully loaded cost per resolved ticket.

1

Choose currency.

Validate deflection

Count only tickets that would otherwise have required support work, and check whether customers received a correct answer.

What the Chatbot ROI Result Means

The model values entered deflected tickets at an entered cost per ticket and compares that value with two entered recurring costs. It does not forecast adoption or service quality.

Chatbot ROI Examples

Support and cost assumptions

monthlyApiCost:50

Estimated ROI

220% ROI

Investment is 300, savings are 960, and estimated profit is 660.

No ticket deflection

Support and cost assumptions

monthlyApiCost:25
monthlyPlatformCost:25
ticketsDeflectedPerMonth:0
costPerTicket:8
months:2

Estimated ROI

-100% ROI

There are costs but no modeled savings.

Include implementation separately

Run a separate scenario if setup, integration, or human-review costs matter to the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Deflection should be evaluated alongside answer quality and escalation outcomes.
