Based on industry averages. Actual results may vary depending on your chatbot configuration, knowledge base quality, and customer query complexity.
This calculator estimates the cost savings of automating a portion of your support conversations with an AI chatbot. The formula is straightforward:
The default values are based on industry averages for small to mid-size support teams. Adjust them to match your actual metrics for a more accurate estimate. The automation rate depends on your content quality — businesses with comprehensive knowledge bases typically see 50-70% automation.
ROI is calculated by comparing the cost of your chatbot to the support labor it replaces. We multiply tickets automated by average handle time, then by your agent hourly cost, and subtract the chatbot cost. The result is your net monthly savings.
Most businesses automate 30-60% of support conversations with an AI chatbot. Repetitive questions (pricing, hours, FAQs) are automated easily, while complex issues still go to your team. We default to 45%, which is a conservative mid-range estimate.
Canary's Starter plan is free forever (100 conversations/month). The Growth plan is $49/month with 1,000 conversations and advanced analytics. Enterprise plans start at $149/month with unlimited conversations.
If you use a free plan like Canary Starter, your savings are pure profit — there's no cost to subtract. The calculator shows 'Pure savings' for ROI and 'Instant' for payback period, since there's nothing to pay back.
