How to calculate AI support ROI
Use conservative deflection
Do not assume every chatbot answer removes a ticket. Count only questions that would otherwise reach support and that the bot answers correctly.
Include review time
AI support still needs monitoring, docs updates, and escalation handling. Include that operational work when estimating savings.
Measure avoided repeat work
The biggest ROI often comes from finding docs gaps. Fixing one missing setup answer can prevent the same ticket from appearing every week.
FAQ
What is a realistic deflection rate?
It depends on docs quality and question mix. Start with a conservative estimate, then replace it with observed data.
Should ROI include customer experience?
Yes. Faster self-serve answers can reduce frustration even when a ticket would not have been expensive.
